How does Chandler Hotel compare with other hotel buildings in New York City?
The latest disclosures cover 970 hotel buildings in New York City, out of 48,310 buildings citywide. Chandler Hotel's ENERGY STAR score of 44 compares with an average of 50 across the 853 that report a score; it scores higher than 43% of them and lower than 56%. Its site EUI of 110.9 kBtu/ft² is about 18% above the average of 94.3 kBtu/ft² — it uses more energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 8.7 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 12% above the group average of 7.8 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 63,967 sq ft, it is about half of the average floor area of 137,256 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1903, 72 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 44 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 44 means the building performs better than about 44% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 44 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 31 points below 75, the threshold for ENERGY STAR certification. 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. Chandler Hotel's 110.9 kBtu/ft² across 63,967 sq ft works out to about 7.1 billion Btu (2,079 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 195.8 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 849,731 kWh of electricity, 41,960 therms of natural gas and 19,651 thousand gallons of water for the year.
