How does M019 (OECID: 0100040; BBL: 1004530034) 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. M019 (OECID: 0100040; BBL: 1004530034)'s ENERGY STAR score of 62 compares with an average of 64 across the 2,052 that report a score; it scores higher than 39% of them and lower than 60%. Its site EUI of 55.0 kBtu/ft² is about 10% below 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 4.8 kgCO₂e/ft² is roughly in line with the group average of 4.8 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 84,125 sq ft, it is about 17% below the average floor area of 101,338 sq ft for those buildings. Its 1955 construction date is close to 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 M019 (OECID: 0100040; BBL: 1004530034)'s energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 New York City disclosures for M019 (OECID: 0100040; BBL: 1004530034), covering report years 2022–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 69 in 2022 to 62 in 2024 (-7 points); its best year on file was 2022, at 69. Site EUI moved from 60.8 kBtu/ft² (2022) to 55.0 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 10% decrease. Reported emissions went from 384 tCO₂e to 404 tCO₂e over the same span (up 5%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 62 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 62 means the building performs better than about 62% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 62 falls in band C — below median (55–69). It sits 13 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. M019 (OECID: 0100040; BBL: 1004530034)'s 55.0 kBtu/ft² across 84,125 sq ft works out to about 4.6 billion Btu (1,356 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 87.1 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 434,636 kWh of electricity and 41 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires M019 (OECID: 0100040; BBL: 1004530034) to report its energy use?
