How has Q012 (OECID: 0400012; BBL: 4013490028)'s energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 New York City disclosures for Q012 (OECID: 0400012; BBL: 4013490028), covering report years 2022–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 41 in 2022 to 62 in 2024 (+21 points). Site EUI moved from 82.8 kBtu/ft² (2022) to 62.2 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 25% decrease. Reported emissions went from 703 tCO₂e to 629 tCO₂e over the same span (down 10%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 62 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 62 means the building performs better than about 62% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 62 falls in band C — below median (55–69). It sits 13 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. Q012 (OECID: 0400012; BBL: 4013490028)'s 62.2 kBtu/ft² across 116,105 sq ft works out to about 7.2 billion Btu (2,116 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 110.5 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 898,004 kWh of electricity, 14,957 therms of natural gas and 467 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires Q012 (OECID: 0400012; BBL: 4013490028) to report its energy use?
