What does an ENERGY STAR score of 46 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 46 means the building performs better than about 46% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 46 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 29 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. NYU Langone Orthopedic Hospital's 230.3 kBtu/ft² across 337,062 sq ft works out to about 77.6 billion Btu (22,750 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 434.8 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 9,771,856 kWh of electricity, 4,920 therms of natural gas and 37,949 thousand gallons of water for the year.

Which law requires NYU Langone Orthopedic Hospital to report its energy use?
