How does 557 BROADWAY compare with other office buildings in New York City?
The latest disclosures cover 3,384 office buildings in New York City, out of 48,310 buildings citywide. 557 BROADWAY's ENERGY STAR score of 43 compares with an average of 72 across the 2,519 that report a score; it scores higher than 13% of them and lower than 87%. Its site EUI of 121.4 kBtu/ft² is about 88% above the average of 64.5 kBtu/ft² — it uses more energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 8.6 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 48% above the group average of 5.8 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 112,500 sq ft, it is about half of the average floor area of 205,440 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1999, 59 years later 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 43 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 43 means the building performs better than about 43% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 43 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 32 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. 557 BROADWAY's 121.4 kBtu/ft² across 112,500 sq ft works out to about 13.7 billion Btu (4,003 MWh-equivalent) in 2022. Its source EUI of 247.4 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 2,258,595 kWh of electricity for the year.
