BuildingCensus holds 2 New York City disclosures for Jerome L. Greene Science Center, covering report years 2022–2023. Site EUI moved from 326.4 kBtu/ft² (2022) to 10.3 kBtu/ft² (2023), a 97% decrease. Reported emissions went from 11,865 tCO₂e to 482 tCO₂e over the same span (down 96%).
What does a site EUI of 10.3 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. Jerome L. Greene Science Center's 10.3 kBtu/ft² across 437,467 sq ft works out to about 4.5 billion Btu (1,321 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. Its source EUI of 28.3 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 1,276,714 kWh of electricity, 1,625 therms of natural gas and 0 thousand gallons of water for the year.
