How has Hotel RL Brooklyn's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 2 New York City disclosures for Hotel RL Brooklyn, covering report years 2022–2023. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 17 in 2022 to 21 in 2023 (+4 points).

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 21 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 21 means the building performs better than about 21% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 21 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 54 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 RL Brooklyn's 108.2 kBtu/ft² across 29,708 sq ft works out to about 3.2 billion Btu (942 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. Its source EUI of 198.9 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 423,991 kWh of electricity, 17,684 therms of natural gas and 1,946 thousand gallons of water for the year.
