Green Light Energy Conservation:5801 2 AVENUE

How does Green Light Energy Conservation:5801 2 AVENUE compare with other non-refrigerated warehouse buildings in New York City?

The latest disclosures cover 639 non-refrigerated warehouse buildings in New York City, out of 48,310 buildings citywide. Green Light Energy Conservation:5801 2 AVENUE's ENERGY STAR score of 90 compares with an average of 57 across the 455 that report a score; it scores higher than 82% of them and lower than 16%. Its site EUI of 12.9 kBtu/ft² is about 67% below the average of 39.3 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 1.5 kgCO₂e/ft² is about half of the group average of 3.1 kgCO₂e/ft².

At 385,628 sq ft, it is about 363% above the average floor area of 83,240 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1931, 22 years earlier than the group's average year built (1953). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 4,723 non-refrigerated warehouse buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 66 and a site EUI of 26.0 kBtu/ft².

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 90 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 90 means the building performs better than about 90% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 90 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. Green Light Energy Conservation:5801 2 AVENUE's 12.9 kBtu/ft² across 385,628 sq ft works out to about 5 billion Btu (1,458 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 36.0 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 1,452,183 kWh of electricity and 154 therms of natural gas for the year.
