New York NY MUSE's ENERGY STAR score of 69 compares with an average of 50 across the 853 that report a score; it scores higher than 71% of them and lower than 28%. Its site EUI of 92.1 kBtu/ft² is roughly in line with the average of 94.3 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 6.8 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 13% below the group average of 7.8 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 113,969 sq ft, it is about 17% below the average floor area of 137,256 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1980, 5 years later than the group's average year built (1975). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 3,812 hotel buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 65 and a site EUI of 77.8 kBtu/ft².
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 69 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 69 means the building performs better than about 69% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 69 falls in band C — below median (55–69). It sits 6 points below 75, the threshold for ENERGY STAR certification. 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. New York NY MUSE's 92.1 kBtu/ft² across 113,969 sq ft works out to about 10.5 billion Btu (3,076 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. Its source EUI of 157.5 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 1,159,297 kWh of electricity, 65,436 therms of natural gas and 4,424 thousand gallons of water for the year.
