How has 636-644 Bedford Ave's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 2 New York City disclosures for 636-644 Bedford Ave, covering report years 2022–2023. Its ENERGY STAR score was 100 in both 2022 and 2023. Site EUI moved from 14.7 kBtu/ft² (2022) to 8.2 kBtu/ft² (2023), a 44% decrease. Reported emissions went from 25 tCO₂e to 14 tCO₂e over the same span (down 44%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 100 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: 100 is the top of the scale. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 100 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. 636-644 Bedford Ave's 8.2 kBtu/ft² across 31,900 sq ft works out to about 0.3 billion Btu (77 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. Its source EUI of 8.6 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 2,616 therms of natural gas for the year.
