How does 2280-Michelangelo 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. 2280-Michelangelo's ENERGY STAR score of 76 compares with an average of 50 across the 853 that report a score; it scores higher than 77% of them and lower than 22%. Its site EUI of 82.4 kBtu/ft² is about 13% 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 5.9 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 24% below the group average of 7.8 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 526,730 sq ft, it is about 284% above 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 76 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 76 means the building performs better than about 76% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 76 falls in band B — above median (70–84). 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. 2280-Michelangelo's 82.4 kBtu/ft² across 526,730 sq ft works out to about 43.4 billion Btu (12,720 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. Its source EUI of 135.6 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 4,334,382 kWh of electricity and 285,903 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires 2280-Michelangelo to report its energy use?
2280-Michelangelo reports under Local Law 84 (LL84), the legal basis of New York City's Energy and Water Data Disclosure program, which publishes each covered building's annual benchmarking results.
