How has Mink Building's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 New York City disclosures for Mink Building, covering report years 2022–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 86 in 2023 to 84 in 2024 (-2 points); its best year on file was 2023, at 86. Site EUI moved from 46.3 kBtu/ft² (2023) to 48.0 kBtu/ft² (2024), an 4% increase.

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 84 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 84 means the building performs better than about 84% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 84 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. Mink Building's 48.0 kBtu/ft² across 124,000 sq ft works out to about 6 billion Btu (1,744 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 110.5 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 1,248,834 kWh of electricity and 16,879 therms of natural gas for the year.
