How does MMS #1980 compare with other self-storage facility buildings in New York City?
The latest disclosures cover 481 self-storage facility buildings in New York City, out of 48,310 buildings citywide. Its site EUI of 18.8 kBtu/ft² is about 11% below the average of 21.2 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 1.8 kgCO₂e/ft² is roughly in line with the group average of 1.7 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 213,330 sq ft, it is about twice the average floor area of 98,872 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1913, 70 years earlier than the group's average year built (1983). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 3,050 self-storage facility buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 75 and a site EUI of 9.4 kBtu/ft².
What does a site EUI of 18.8 kBtu/ft² mean?
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. MMS #1980's 18.8 kBtu/ft² across 213,330 sq ft works out to about 4 billion Btu (1,175 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. Its source EUI of 44.2 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 873,683 kWh of electricity, 10,308 therms of natural gas and 521 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires MMS #1980 to report its energy use?
MMS #1980 reports under Local Law 84 (LL84), the legal basis of New York City's Energy and Water Data Disclosure program, which publishes each covered building's annual benchmarking results. The record shown here is the report-year 2023 disclosure (source record nyc:33030557:2023).
