N= exempted from benchmarking or not covered by the Energy Star program

• The energy label will include both a letter grade and the building's energy efficiency score.

• Within 30 days after the owner obtains his/her Energy Efficiency Grade, such owner must post the grade and the Energy Efficiency score upon the location near each public entrance to such buildings.
