How has K615 (OECID: 0300350; BBL: 3041550075)'s energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 New York City disclosures for K615 (OECID: 0300350; BBL: 3041550075), covering report years 2022–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 58 in 2022 to 69 in 2024 (+11 points). Site EUI moved from 91.2 kBtu/ft² (2022) to 71.9 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 21% decrease. Reported emissions went from 1,488 tCO₂e to 1,288 tCO₂e over the same span (down 13%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 69 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 69 means the building performs better than about 69% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 69 falls in band C — below median (55–69). It sits 6 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. K615 (OECID: 0300350; BBL: 3041550075)'s 71.9 kBtu/ft² across 212,400 sq ft works out to about 15.3 billion Btu (4,476 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 102.7 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 1,046,314 kWh of electricity and 1,686 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires K615 (OECID: 0300350; BBL: 3041550075) to report its energy use?
