What does an ENERGY STAR score of 4 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 4 means the building performs better than about 4% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 4 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 71 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. 2150 Coyle's 166.3 kBtu/ft² across 26,430 sq ft works out to about 4.4 billion Btu (1,288 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. Its source EUI of 225.3 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 224,217 kWh of electricity, 36,301 therms of natural gas and 528 thousand gallons of water for the year.

Which law requires 2150 Coyle to report its energy use?
