How has K874 (OECID: 0300120; BBL: 3011640057)'s energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 New York City disclosures for K874 (OECID: 0300120; BBL: 3011640057), covering report years 2022–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 21 in 2022 to 42 in 2024 (+21 points). Site EUI moved from 106.2 kBtu/ft² (2022) to 77.0 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 27% decrease. Reported emissions went from 171 tCO₂e to 144 tCO₂e over the same span (down 16%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 42 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 42 means the building performs better than about 42% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 42 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 33 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. K874 (OECID: 0300120; BBL: 3011640057)'s 77.0 kBtu/ft² across 25,715 sq ft works out to about 2 billion Btu (580 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 122.0 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 178,098 kWh of electricity, 12,954 therms of natural gas and 319 thousand gallons of water for the year.
