The latest disclosures cover 970 hotel buildings in New York City, out of 48,310 buildings citywide. Dans Global Hotels LLC's ENERGY STAR score of 91 compares with an average of 50 across the 853 that report a score; it scores higher than 90% of them and lower than 9%. Its site EUI of 43.0 kBtu/ft² is about half of the average of 94.3 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 2.9 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 63% below the group average of 7.8 kgCO₂e/ft².

At 31,500 sq ft, it is about 77% below the average floor area of 137,256 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 2002, 27 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 91 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 91 means the building performs better than about 91% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 91 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. Dans Global Hotels LLC's 43.0 kBtu/ft² across 31,500 sq ft works out to about 1.4 billion Btu (397 MWh-equivalent) in 2022. Its source EUI of 79.4 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 180,828 kWh of electricity and 3,479 thousand gallons of water for the year.

Which law requires Dans Global Hotels LLC to report its energy use?
