Its site EUI of 51.7 kBtu/ft² is about 20% below the average of 64.5 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 4.9 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 15% below the group average of 5.8 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 28,440 sq ft, it is about 86% below the average floor area of 205,440 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1900, 40 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 68 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 68 means the building performs better than about 68% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 68 falls in band C — below median (55–69). It sits 7 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. 420 West 14th Street's 51.7 kBtu/ft² across 28,440 sq ft works out to about 1.5 billion Btu (431 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 115.9 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 293,384 kWh of electricity, 4,686 therms of natural gas and 1,181 thousand gallons of water for the year.
