How does Civilian 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. Civilian Hotel's ENERGY STAR score of 18 compares with an average of 50 across the 853 that report a score; it scores higher than 17% of them and lower than 82%. Its site EUI of 112.3 kBtu/ft² is about 19% 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 11.0 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 41% above the group average of 7.8 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 73,651 sq ft, it is about half of the average floor area of 137,256 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 2018, 43 years later 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 18 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 18 means the building performs better than about 18% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 18 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 57 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. Civilian Hotel's 112.3 kBtu/ft² across 73,651 sq ft works out to about 8.3 billion Btu (2,424 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 261.0 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 1,765,211 kWh of electricity, 22,453 therms of natural gas and 5,500 thousand gallons of water for the year.
