2022 LL84 Benchmarking Compliance Deadline Extended to May 31

The DOB has extended the LL84 benchmarking deadline to May 31, 2022 for which reporting had been due no later than May 1, 2022. If owners failed to submit a fully compliant report by May 31, 2022, owners will be subject to violations for each quarter of non-compliance and property will be receiving an "F" letter grade according to Administrative Code §28-309.4.

STRATCO can help you with the benchmarking process by:

1. Checking if your property is in the 2022 Covered Buildings List
2. Submitting your LL84 compliance requirements on your behalf, which consist of:

  • Reviewing building characteristics that need to be uploaded to the portfolio manager
  • Collecting building energy & water data from electricity, gas, fuel oil, and water utilities
  • Organizing your consumption data and give you a sample benchmarking report for your properties
  • Summarizing the energy efficiency of your building and compare it to other buildings of similar types and sizes
  • Checking data for errors and give you recommendations if there are any

3. Answering any questions about the process

For the third year, Owners are also required to post the building energy efficiency rating (BEER) letter grades issued by the DOB per Local Law 33 as amended by Local Law 95. These energy efficiency scores will be given by the city as early as October 1 and need to be posted by October 31, and after the benchmarking information is submitted. Energy Star energy efficiency scores will be assigned as follows:

  • A= greater than or equal to 85
  • B= greater than or equal to 70, less than 85
  • C= greater than or equal to 55, less than 70
  • D= less than 55
  • F= did not submit benchmarking information
  • N= exempted from benchmarking
