How does 44 East 2nd Street compare with other K-12 school buildings in New York City?
The latest disclosures cover 2,301 K-12 school buildings in New York City, out of 48,310 buildings citywide. 44 East 2nd Street's ENERGY STAR score of 66 compares with an average of 64 across the 2,052 that report a score; it scores higher than 44% of them and lower than 54%. Its site EUI of 68.4 kBtu/ft² is about 12% 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 4.7 kgCO₂e/ft² is roughly in line with the group average of 4.8 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 50,000 sq ft, it is about half of the average floor area of 101,338 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1936, 17 years earlier 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 66 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 66 means the building performs better than about 66% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 66 falls in band C — below median (55–69). It sits 9 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. 44 East 2nd Street's 68.4 kBtu/ft² across 50,000 sq ft works out to about 3.4 billion Btu (1,002 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 101.8 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 251,689 kWh of electricity and 25,599 therms of natural gas for the year.
