How does 118 E 28th compare with other office buildings in New York City?
The latest disclosures cover 3,384 office buildings in New York City, out of 48,310 buildings citywide. 118 E 28th's ENERGY STAR score of 64 compares with an average of 72 across the 2,519 that report a score; it scores higher than 27% of them and lower than 71%. Its site EUI of 76.8 kBtu/ft² is about 19% above the average of 64.5 kBtu/ft² — it uses more energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 6.2 kgCO₂e/ft² is roughly in line with the group average of 5.8 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 60,000 sq ft, it is about 71% below the average floor area of 205,440 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1912, 28 years earlier than the group's average year built (1940). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 15,264 office buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 73 and a site EUI of 59.3 kBtu/ft².
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 64 mean?
ENERGY STAR scores run from 1 to 100 and are computed by the EPA's Portfolio Manager as a percentile against similar buildings nationwide, adjusted for climate, size and use: a score of 64 means the building performs better than about 64% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 64 falls in band C — below median (55–69). It sits 11 points below 75, the threshold for ENERGY STAR certification. In New York City, 43% of scored buildings are at 75 or above.
Site energy-use intensity (EUI) is the energy a building uses on site in a year divided by its floor area, in thousand Btu per square foot — lower is more efficient. 118 E 28th's 76.8 kBtu/ft² across 60,000 sq ft works out to about 4.6 billion Btu (1,350 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 139.0 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 585,851 kWh of electricity and 26,111 therms of natural gas for the year.
