Overview
The following Energy Assessment was performed on behalf of Renaissance Properties at 632 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

Assessment Highlights
- For the past 12 months, the building use 12,113,339 kBtu of energy
- The electric usage equated to $471,668 with sub-metering of tenants employed
- The building Energy Utilization Index (EUI) is 86.66 kBtu/ft²
- The target EUI recommended by portfolio manager is 71 kBtu/ft² which represents an 18% reduction in energy
- The study came up with 8 Energy Efficiency Measures
- A total of $23,872.36 independent energy efficiency measures were identified
- The simple payback for all measures, excluding hot water heater and skylights, is 3.65 years
