How has M034 (OECID: 0100053; BBL: 1003810038)'s energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 New York City disclosures for M034 (OECID: 0100053; BBL: 1003810038), covering report years 2022–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 46 in 2022 to 73 in 2024 (+27 points). Site EUI moved from 88.6 kBtu/ft² (2022) to 54.2 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 39% decrease. Reported emissions went from 441 tCO₂e to 312 tCO₂e over the same span (down 29%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 73 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 73 means the building performs better than about 73% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 73 falls in band B — above median (70–84). It sits 2 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. M034 (OECID: 0100053; BBL: 1003810038)'s 54.2 kBtu/ft² across 66,080 sq ft works out to about 3.6 billion Btu (1,050 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 90.7 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 386,807 kWh of electricity, 3,802 therms of natural gas and 0 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires M034 (OECID: 0100053; BBL: 1003810038) to report its energy use?
