The latest disclosures cover 2,301 K-12 school buildings in New York City, out of 48,310 buildings citywide. K274, K876 (OECID: 0300275; BBL: 3032410037)'s ENERGY STAR score of 74 compares with an average of 64 across the 2,052 that report a score; it scores higher than 56% of them and lower than 42%. Its site EUI of 51.4 kBtu/ft² is about 16% below the average of 61.3 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 4.2 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 12% below the group average of 4.8 kgCO₂e/ft².

At 123,600 sq ft, it is about 22% above the average floor area of 101,338 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1960, 7 years later than the group's average year built (1954). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 6,548 K-12 school buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 64 and a site EUI of 52.7 kBtu/ft².

How has K274, K876 (OECID: 0300275; BBL: 3032410037)'s energy performance changed over time?

BuildingCensus holds 3 New York City disclosures for K274, K876 (OECID: 0300275; BBL: 3032410037), covering report years 2022–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 70 in 2022 to 74 in 2024 (+4 points). Site EUI moved from 57.3 kBtu/ft² (2022) to 51.4 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 10% decrease. Reported emissions went from 529 tCO₂e to 522 tCO₂e over the same span (down 1%).

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 74 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 74 means the building performs better than about 74% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 74 falls in band B — above median (70–84). It sits 1 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. K274, K876 (OECID: 0300275; BBL: 3032410037)'s 51.4 kBtu/ft² across 123,600 sq ft works out to about 6.4 billion Btu (1,862 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 73.8 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 441,184 kWh of electricity, 4,981 therms of natural gas and 2,664 thousand gallons of water for the year.
