How has K227 (OECID: 0300232; BBL: 3055510018)'s energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 New York City disclosures for K227 (OECID: 0300232; BBL: 3055510018), covering report years 2022–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 52 in 2022 to 67 in 2024 (+15 points). Site EUI moved from 78.0 kBtu/ft² (2022) to 58.9 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 24% decrease. Reported emissions went from 700 tCO₂e to 611 tCO₂e over the same span (down 13%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 67 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 67 means the building performs better than about 67% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 67 falls in band C — below median (55–69). It sits 8 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. K227 (OECID: 0300232; BBL: 3055510018)'s 58.9 kBtu/ft² across 146,400 sq ft works out to about 8.6 billion Btu (2,527 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 87.6 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 636,624 kWh of electricity, 55,768 therms of natural gas and 567 thousand gallons of water for the year.
