Overview
The following Energy Assessment was performed on behalf of Renaissance Properties at 627 Broadway to identify energy efficiency measures that, when implemented, would make the property more efficient in terms of energy and water usage.
The procedures and methods used in this analysis exceed the requirements of an ASHRAE Level II Energy Evaluation. Moreover, this Report has been designed to satisfy the Energy Audit requirements of New York City Local Law 87
