The city announced Thursday that most of Philadelphia's
large commercial buildings complied with a new law to report energy usage, and
their average Energy Star score came in at 64, above the national average of
50. Energy usage and water reports from 2012 were filed for 1,750 of about
1,900 eligible buildings larger than 50,000 square feet, representing 250
million square feet or 20 percent of all building space in the city. The city
says the benchmarking law will give building owners, managers and tenants
useful information for taking action to reduce their energy and water costs.
The deadline for reporting 2013 energy and water usage is June 30. For more
