The latest disclosures cover 2,301 K-12 school buildings in New York City, out of 48,310 buildings citywide. Q079 (OECID: 0400070; BBL: 4046470001)'s ENERGY STAR score of 52 compares with an average of 64 across the 2,052 that report a score; it scores higher than 28% of them and lower than 71%. Its site EUI of 60.2 kBtu/ft² is roughly in line with the average of 61.3 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 5.3 kgCO₂e/ft² is roughly in line with the group average of 4.8 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 122,400 sq ft, it is about 21% above the average floor area of 101,338 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1931, 22 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.
How has Q079 (OECID: 0400070; BBL: 4046470001)'s energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 New York City disclosures for Q079 (OECID: 0400070; BBL: 4046470001), covering report years 2022–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 60 in 2022 to 52 in 2024 (-8 points); its best year on file was 2023, at 63. Site EUI moved from 60.9 kBtu/ft² (2022) to 60.2 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 1% decrease. Reported emissions went from 581 tCO₂e to 646 tCO₂e over the same span (up 11%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 52 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 52 means the building performs better than about 52% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 52 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 23 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. Q079 (OECID: 0400070; BBL: 4046470001)'s 60.2 kBtu/ft² across 122,400 sq ft works out to about 7.4 billion Btu (2,159 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 96.1 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 707,701 kWh of electricity and 0 therms of natural gas for the year.
