How has 47 Bridgewater's energy performance changed over time?

Its ENERGY STAR score went from 94 in 2022 to 93 in 2024 (-1 points); its best year on file was 2022, at 94. Site EUI moved from 3.2 kBtu/ft² (2022) to 3.6 kBtu/ft² (2024), an 13% increase. Reported emissions went from 7 tCO₂e to 11 tCO₂e over the same span (up 51%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 93 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 93 means the building performs better than about 93% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 93 falls in band A — high performer (85–100). 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. 47 Bridgewater's 3.6 kBtu/ft² across 26,500 sq ft works out to about 0.1 billion Btu (28 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 10.1 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 27,999 kWh of electricity and 51 thousand gallons of water for the year.
