How has K253 (OECID: 0300256; BBL: 3086660610)'s energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 New York City disclosures for K253 (OECID: 0300256; BBL: 3086660610), covering report years 2022–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 54 in 2022 to 36 in 2024 (-18 points); its best year on file was 2022, at 54. Site EUI moved from 77.5 kBtu/ft² (2022) to 70.0 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 10% decrease. Reported emissions went from 409 tCO₂e to 607 tCO₂e over the same span (up 48%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 36 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 36 means the building performs better than about 36% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 36 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 39 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. K253 (OECID: 0300256; BBL: 3086660610)'s 70.0 kBtu/ft² across 139,894 sq ft works out to about 9.8 billion Btu (2,870 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 135.5 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 1,067,199 kWh of electricity and 35,391 therms of natural gas for the year.
