How does K834, K764 (OECID: 0301751; BBL: 3004550001) compare with other K-12 school buildings in New York City?

The latest disclosures cover 2,301 K-12 school buildings in New York City, out of 48,310 buildings citywide. K834, K764 (OECID: 0301751; BBL: 3004550001)'s ENERGY STAR score of 89 compares with an average of 64 across the 2,052 that report a score; it scores higher than 82% of them and lower than 17%. Its site EUI of 55.7 kBtu/ft² is roughly in line with 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 4.7 kgCO₂e/ft² is roughly in line with the group average of 4.8 kgCO₂e/ft².

At 51,830 sq ft, it is about half of the average floor area of 101,338 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1927, 26 years earlier 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 K834, K764 (OECID: 0301751; BBL: 3004550001)'s energy performance changed over time?

BuildingCensus holds 2 New York City disclosures for K834, K764 (OECID: 0301751; BBL: 3004550001), covering report years 2022–2023. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 83 in 2022 to 89 in 2023 (+6 points). Site EUI moved from 73.3 kBtu/ft² (2022) to 55.7 kBtu/ft² (2023), a 24% decrease. Reported emissions went from 288 tCO₂e to 245 tCO₂e over the same span (down 15%).

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 89 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 89 means the building performs better than about 89% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 89 falls in band A — high performer (85–100). 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. K834, K764 (OECID: 0301751; BBL: 3004550001)'s 55.7 kBtu/ft² across 51,830 sq ft works out to about 2.9 billion Btu (846 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. Its source EUI of 89.6 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 282,000 kWh of electricity, 1,371 therms of natural gas and 195 thousand gallons of water for the year.

Which law requires K834, K764 (OECID: 0301751; BBL: 3004550001) to report its energy use?

K834, K764 (OECID: 0301751; BBL: 3004550001) reports under Local Law 84 (LL84), the legal basis of New York City's Energy and Water Data Disclosure program, which publishes each covered building's annual benchmarking results. The record shown here is the report-year 2023 disclosure (source record nyc:1836747:2023). Under Local Law 97, buildings over 25,000 sq ft face carbon caps with fines of $268 per metric ton of CO₂e over the limit, phasing in from 2024.
