"Buildings account for 75 percent of all greenhouse gas emissions in New York City, yet many property owners and managers do not know they can be a part of the solution and save money by making their buildings more energy efficient. This benchmarking report will help us understand where we can act most quickly to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and achieve our PlaNYC goals." - Mayor Michael Bloomberg
