Its site EUI of 1.4 kBtu/ft² is about 99% below the average of 94.3 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 0.2 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 98% below the group average of 7.8 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 247,447 sq ft, it is about 80% above the average floor area of 137,256 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1926, 49 years earlier than the group's average year built (1975). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 3,812 hotel buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 65 and a site EUI of 77.8 kBtu/ft².
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. 72 Wall Street's 1.4 kBtu/ft² across 247,447 sq ft works out to about 0.3 billion Btu (102 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 3.9 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 100,679 kWh of electricity for the year.
Which law requires 72 Wall Street to report its energy use?
