How has Avalon Hotel's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 New York City disclosures for Avalon Hotel, covering report years 2022–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 100 in 2022 to 99 in 2024 (-1 points); its best year on file was 2022, at 100. Site EUI moved from 16.2 kBtu/ft² (2022) to 34.0 kBtu/ft² (2024), an 110% increase. Reported emissions went from 108 tCO₂e to 255 tCO₂e over the same span (up 136%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 99 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 99 means the building performs better than about 99% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 99 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. Avalon Hotel's 34.0 kBtu/ft² across 78,740 sq ft works out to about 2.7 billion Btu (785 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 65.0 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 396,185 kWh of electricity and 81 therms of natural gas for the year.
