Buildings with a score between 85-100 earn an A, 70-84 a B, 55-69 a C, and 1-54 a D. (A score of 75, for example, means that a building performs better than 75% of other buildings.) Building owners who fail to post their grades are subject to fines and receive an F grade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Building owners and operators concerned about their scores can confirm that the listed square footage, the number of bedrooms and units for their properties are correct. They can also hold an energy audit to identify potential improvements including measures to reduce carbon emissions, which impact compliance with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yardi.com\/blog\/news\/energy\/milestones-deadlines\/31697.html\">Local Law 97<\/a>, and involve building tenants and residents in energy efficiency measures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Learn more about <a href=\"https:\/\/www1.nyc.gov\/assets\/buildings\/pdf\/ll33_compliance_steps.pdf\">Local Law 33<\/a> and its compliance criteria and see a <a href=\"https:\/\/be-exchange.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/beex_MOS_LL33_digital.pdf\">sample label<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Need help benchmarking or preparing for an energy audit?
