How does MPB (Q) DOE School 1 compare with other K-12 school buildings in New York City?
The latest disclosures cover 2,301 K-12 school buildings in New York City, out of 48,310 buildings citywide. MPB (Q) DOE School 1's ENERGY STAR score of 80 compares with an average of 64 across the 2,052 that report a score; it scores higher than 66% of them and lower than 32%. Its site EUI of 64.5 kBtu/ft² is roughly in line with the average of 61.3 kBtu/ft². Its emissions intensity of 5.0 kgCO₂e/ft² is roughly in line with the group average of 4.8 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 43,500 sq ft, it is about 57% below the average floor area of 101,338 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1950, 3 years earlier than the group's average year built (1954). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 6,548 K-12 school buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 64 and a site EUI of 52.7 kBtu/ft².
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 80 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 80 means the building performs better than about 80% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 80 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. MPB (Q) DOE School 1's 64.5 kBtu/ft² across 43,500 sq ft works out to about 2.8 billion Btu (822 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 74.0 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 62,940 kWh of electricity and 115 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires MPB (Q) DOE School 1 to report its energy use?
MPB (Q) DOE School 1 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 2024 disclosure (source record nyc:65094094:2024). Under Local Law 97, buildings over 25,000 sq ft face carbon caps with fines of $268 per metric ton of CO₂e over the limit, phasing in from 2024.
