How has Film & Video's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 New York City disclosures for Film & Video, covering report years 2022–2024. Site EUI moved from 107.2 kBtu/ft² (2022) to 105.3 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 2% decrease. Reported emissions went from 124 tCO₂e to 155 tCO₂e over the same span (up 25%).
What does a site EUI of 105.3 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. Film & Video's 105.3 kBtu/ft² across 15,479 sq ft works out to about 1.6 billion Btu (478 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 235.1 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 322,807 kWh of electricity, 5,285 therms of natural gas and 95 thousand gallons of water for the year.
