How has 45-55 Pearson's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 New York City disclosures for 45-55 Pearson, covering report years 2022–2024. Site EUI moved from 4.2 kBtu/ft² (2022) to 13.0 kBtu/ft² (2024), an 210% increase. Reported emissions went from 75 tCO₂e to 264 tCO₂e over the same span (up 254%).
What does a site EUI of 13.0 kBtu/ft² mean?
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. 45-55 Pearson's 13.0 kBtu/ft² across 239,031 sq ft works out to about 3.1 billion Btu (911 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 19.3 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 240,691 kWh of electricity, 229 therms of natural gas and 551 thousand gallons of water for the year.
