Energy-use study of New York City buildings to be used for encouraging retrofits
A survey of energy consumption of New York City’s largest buildings aims to encourage and guide building owners toward pursuing energy retrofits. The report, released by the city's Office of Long-Term Planning and Sustainability, tracked the energy use of more than 15,400 buildings in 2010 and found that those that fell in the bottom 10% consumed three to five times more energy than their more energy-efficient counterparts.
