How does 2100-The Knickerbocker compare with other hotel buildings in New York City?
The latest disclosures cover 970 hotel buildings in New York City, out of 48,310 buildings citywide. 2100-The Knickerbocker's ENERGY STAR score of 71 compares with an average of 50 across the 853 that report a score; it scores higher than 73% of them and lower than 26%. Its site EUI of 76.3 kBtu/ft² is about 19% below the average of 94.3 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 6.4 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 18% below the group average of 7.8 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 300,000 sq ft, it is about twice the average floor area of 137,256 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 2000, 25 years later than the group's average year built (1975). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 3,812 hotel buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 65 and a site EUI of 77.8 kBtu/ft².
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 71 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 71 means the building performs better than about 71% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 71 falls in band B — above median (70–84). It sits 4 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. 2100-The Knickerbocker's 76.3 kBtu/ft² across 300,000 sq ft works out to about 22.9 billion Btu (6,708 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. Its source EUI of 153.0 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 3,659,306 kWh of electricity, 104,106 therms of natural gas and 13,419 thousand gallons of water for the year.
