Which Buildings Use Least Energy? LEED?
Jan 12, 2013 – New York City [NYC] found some surprises resulting from their new law tracking energy usage of large buildings. Some of the older buildings had better results than the more efficient new glass towers. 7 World Trade Center, a new building with a gold LEED had a 74 score, just below the 75 required by the US EPA Energy Star Program. The Chrysler Building had an 84 and the Empire State Building had an 80. The MetLife Building over Grand Central Terminal: 39. The famous Mies van der Rohe Seagram Building on Park Avenue: 3!!
The Seagram Building is installing a number of conservation items. But, it still has beautiful single-pane glass.
Please leave comments here about other buildings in NYC or your city.
