How has K799 (OECID: 0301760; BBL: 3031570037)'s energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 New York City disclosures for K799 (OECID: 0301760; BBL: 3031570037), covering report years 2022–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 73 in 2022 to 76 in 2024 (+3 points); its best year on file was 2023, at 77. Site EUI moved from 57.9 kBtu/ft² (2022) to 49.2 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 15% decrease. Reported emissions went from 108 tCO₂e to 104 tCO₂e over the same span (down 3%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 76 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 76 means the building performs better than about 76% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 76 falls in band B — above median (70–84). Scores of 75 or higher meet the threshold for ENERGY STAR certification; certification itself is a separate, verified application that the disclosure does not record. 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. K799 (OECID: 0301760; BBL: 3031570037)'s 49.2 kBtu/ft² across 24,210 sq ft works out to about 1.2 billion Btu (349 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 78.7 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 114,701 kWh of electricity and 85 thousand gallons of water for the year.
