How does 1402 40TH ST. compare with other K-12 school buildings in New York City?
The latest disclosures cover 2,301 K-12 school buildings in New York City, out of 48,310 buildings citywide. 1402 40TH ST.'s ENERGY STAR score of 88 compares with an average of 64 across the 2,052 that report a score; it scores higher than 80% of them and lower than 18%. Its site EUI of 48.1 kBtu/ft² is about 22% below the average of 61.3 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 3.9 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 18% below the group average of 4.8 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 43,200 sq ft, it is about 57% below the average floor area of 101,338 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1930, 23 years earlier than the group's average year built (1954). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 6,548 K-12 school buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 64 and a site EUI of 52.7 kBtu/ft².
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 88 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 88 means the building performs better than about 88% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 88 falls in band A — high performer (85–100). Scores of 75 or higher meet the threshold for ENERGY STAR certification; certification itself is a separate, verified application that the disclosure does not record. 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. 1402 40TH ST.'s 48.1 kBtu/ft² across 43,200 sq ft works out to about 2.1 billion Btu (609 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 89.7 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 318,184 kWh of electricity, 12,460 therms of natural gas and 3,736 thousand gallons of water for the year.
