How has 75 Ocean Avenue's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 2 New York City disclosures for 75 Ocean Avenue, covering report years 2023–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score was 94 in both 2023 and 2024.

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 94 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 94 means the building performs better than about 94% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 94 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. 75 Ocean Avenue's 68.4 kBtu/ft² across 79,122 sq ft works out to about 5.4 billion Btu (1,586 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 92.0 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 267,529 kWh of electricity, 44,991 therms of natural gas and 7,095 thousand gallons of water for the year.
