How has M510 (OECID: 0100088; BBL: 1004220072)'s energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 New York City disclosures for M510 (OECID: 0100088; BBL: 1004220072), covering report years 2022–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 63 in 2022 to 75 in 2024 (+12 points); its best year on file was 2023, at 79. Site EUI moved from 77.6 kBtu/ft² (2022) to 62.2 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 20% decrease. Reported emissions went from 434 tCO₂e to 389 tCO₂e over the same span (down 10%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 75 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 75 means the building performs better than about 75% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 75 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. M510 (OECID: 0100088; BBL: 1004220072)'s 62.2 kBtu/ft² across 91,280 sq ft works out to about 5.7 billion Btu (1,664 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 89.4 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 370,129 kWh of electricity and 40,044 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires M510 (OECID: 0100088; BBL: 1004220072) to report its energy use?
