How has Original Campus's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 New York City disclosures for Original Campus, covering report years 2022–2024. Site EUI moved from 117.0 kBtu/ft² (2022) to 86.8 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 26% decrease. Reported emissions went from 7,506 tCO₂e to 6,548 tCO₂e over the same span (down 13%).
What does a site EUI of 86.8 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. Original Campus's 86.8 kBtu/ft² across 1,068,079 sq ft works out to about 92.7 billion Btu (27,170 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 145.9 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 8,656,406 kWh of electricity, 304,226 therms of natural gas and 17,326 thousand gallons of water for the year.
