How has Borden's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 2 New York City disclosures for Borden, covering report years 2023–2024. Site EUI moved from 9.7 kBtu/ft² (2023) to 6.6 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 32% decrease. Reported emissions went from 102 tCO₂e to 76 tCO₂e over the same span (down 26%).
What does a site EUI of 6.6 kBtu/ft² mean?
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. Borden's 6.6 kBtu/ft² across 136,256 sq ft works out to about 0.9 billion Btu (264 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 12.7 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 132,120 kWh of electricity and 4,448 therms of natural gas for the year.
