Its site EUI of 73.3 kBtu/ft² is about 20% above the average of 61.3 kBtu/ft² — it uses more energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 6.0 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 25% above the group average of 4.8 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 43,900 sq ft, it is about 57% below the average floor area of 101,338 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1995, 42 years later 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 37 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 37 means the building performs better than about 37% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 37 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 38 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. 425 MCDONALD AVE.'s 73.3 kBtu/ft² across 43,900 sq ft works out to about 3.2 billion Btu (943 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. Its source EUI of 142.7 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 483,308 kWh of electricity and 15,673 therms of natural gas for the year.
