How does Hotel Edison compare with other hotel buildings in New York City?
The latest disclosures cover 970 hotel buildings in New York City, out of 48,310 buildings citywide. Hotel Edison's ENERGY STAR score of 19 compares with an average of 50 across the 853 that report a score; it scores higher than 18% of them and lower than 81%. Its site EUI of 141.9 kBtu/ft² is about 50% above the average of 94.3 kBtu/ft² — it uses more energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 10.7 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 37% above the group average of 7.8 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 399,325 sq ft, it is about 191% above the average floor area of 137,256 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1931, 44 years earlier 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 19 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 19 means the building performs better than about 19% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 19 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 56 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. Hotel Edison's 141.9 kBtu/ft² across 399,325 sq ft works out to about 56.7 billion Btu (16,607 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 237.4 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 5,912,443 kWh of electricity, 364,913 therms of natural gas and 1,415 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires Hotel Edison to report its energy use?
Hotel Edison reports under Local Law 84 (LL84), the legal basis of New York City's Energy and Water Data Disclosure program, which publishes each covered building's annual benchmarking results. The record shown here is the report-year 2024 disclosure (source record nyc:60500993:2024). Under Local Law 97, buildings over 25,000 sq ft face carbon caps with fines of $268 per metric ton of CO₂e over the limit, phasing in from 2024.
