How has K246 (OECID: 0300249; BBL: 3051100025)'s energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 New York City disclosures for K246 (OECID: 0300249; BBL: 3051100025), covering report years 2022–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 17 in 2022 to 18 in 2024 (+1 points); its best year on file was 2023, at 28. Site EUI moved from 112.9 kBtu/ft² (2022) to 101.1 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 10% decrease. Reported emissions went from 891 tCO₂e to 924 tCO₂e over the same span (up 4%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 18 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 18 means the building performs better than about 18% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 18 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 57 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. K246 (OECID: 0300249; BBL: 3051100025)'s 101.1 kBtu/ft² across 129,665 sq ft works out to about 13.1 billion Btu (3,842 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 155.7 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 1,074,846 kWh of electricity, 94,449 therms of natural gas and 1,284 thousand gallons of water for the year.
