How has Leo Hall/Higgins Engineering & Science Center's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 New York City disclosures for Leo Hall/Higgins Engineering & Science Center, covering report years 2022–2024. Site EUI moved from 86.5 kBtu/ft² (2022) to 74.4 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 14% decrease. Reported emissions went from 1,145 tCO₂e to 1,177 tCO₂e over the same span (up 3%).
What does a site EUI of 74.4 kBtu/ft² mean?
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. Leo Hall/Higgins Engineering & Science Center's 74.4 kBtu/ft² across 204,601 sq ft works out to about 15.2 billion Btu (4,461 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 129.0 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 1,742,403 kWh of electricity, 92,839 therms of natural gas and 1,509 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires Leo Hall/Higgins Engineering & Science Center to report its energy use?
