DOE_6549_K092's ENERGY STAR score of 48 compares with an average of 64 across the 2,052 that report a score; it scores higher than 25% of them and lower than 74%. Its site EUI of 68.6 kBtu/ft² is about 12% above the average of 61.3 kBtu/ft² — it uses more energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 4.8 kgCO₂e/ft² is roughly in line with the group average of 4.8 kgCO₂e/ft².

At 112,000 sq ft, it is about 11% above the average floor area of 101,338 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1906, 47 years earlier than the group's average year built (1954). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 6,548 K-12 school buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 64 and a site EUI of 52.7 kBtu/ft².

How has DOE_6549_K092's energy performance changed over time?

BuildingCensus holds 2 New York City disclosures for DOE_6549_K092, covering report years 2023–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 61 in 2023 to 48 in 2024 (-13 points); its best year on file was 2023, at 61. Site EUI moved from 56.4 kBtu/ft² (2023) to 68.6 kBtu/ft² (2024), an 22% increase. Reported emissions went from 446 tCO₂e to 538 tCO₂e over the same span (up 21%).

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 48 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 48 means the building performs better than about 48% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 48 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 27 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. DOE_6549_K092's 68.6 kBtu/ft² across 112,000 sq ft works out to about 7.7 billion Btu (2,252 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 104.7 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 613,272 kWh of electricity and 55,875 therms of natural gas for the year.

Which law requires DOE_6549_K092 to report its energy use?
