How has K181 (OECID: 0300184; BBL: 3049040010)'s energy performance changed over time?

BuildingCensus holds 3 New York City disclosures for K181 (OECID: 0300184; BBL: 3049040010), covering report years 2022–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 40 in 2022 to 39 in 2024 (-1 points); its best year on file was 2023, at 53. Site EUI moved from 94.0 kBtu/ft² (2022) to 92.0 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 2% decrease. Reported emissions went from 859 tCO₂e to 922 tCO₂e over the same span (up 7%).

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 39 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 39 means the building performs better than about 39% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 39 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 36 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. K181 (OECID: 0300184; BBL: 3049040010)'s 92.0 kBtu/ft² across 153,600 sq ft works out to about 14.1 billion Btu (4,141 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 128.1 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 809,377 kWh of electricity, 113,691 therms of natural gas and 1,331 thousand gallons of water for the year.
