Its emissions intensity of 5.8 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 37% below the group average of 9.3 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 45,000 sq ft, it is about 66% below the average floor area of 131,184 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1918, 13 years earlier than the group's average year built (1932).
How has Dia Art Foundation's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 New York City disclosures for Dia Art Foundation, covering report years 2022–2024. Site EUI moved from 47.6 kBtu/ft² (2022) to 56.6 kBtu/ft² (2024), an 19% increase. Reported emissions went from 169 tCO₂e to 262 tCO₂e over the same span (up 55%).
What does a site EUI of 56.6 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. Dia Art Foundation's 56.6 kBtu/ft² across 45,000 sq ft works out to about 2.5 billion Btu (746 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 139.2 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 601,151 kWh of electricity, 4,955 therms of natural gas and 578 thousand gallons of water for the year.
