How has M435 (OECID: 0100174; BBL: 1017130001)'s energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 New York City disclosures for M435 (OECID: 0100174; BBL: 1017130001), covering report years 2022–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 76 in 2022 to 82 in 2024 (+6 points). Site EUI moved from 66.3 kBtu/ft² (2022) to 52.1 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 21% decrease. Reported emissions went from 1,090 tCO₂e to 1,019 tCO₂e over the same span (down 7%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 82 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 82 means the building performs better than about 82% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 82 falls in band B — above median (70–84). 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. M435 (OECID: 0100174; BBL: 1017130001)'s 52.1 kBtu/ft² across 275,000 sq ft works out to about 14.3 billion Btu (4,199 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 81.2 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 1,221,077 kWh of electricity, 101,502 therms of natural gas and 0 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires M435 (OECID: 0100174; BBL: 1017130001) to report its energy use?
