The latest disclosures cover 2,301 K-12 school buildings in New York City, out of 48,310 buildings citywide. Q159 (OECID: 0400145; BBL: 4060380013)'s ENERGY STAR score of 45 compares with an average of 64 across the 2,052 that report a score; it scores higher than 23% of them and lower than 76%. Its site EUI of 71.9 kBtu/ft² is about 17% above the average of 61.3 kBtu/ft² — it uses more energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 6.2 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 29% above the group average of 4.8 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 75,700 sq ft, it is about 25% below the average floor area of 101,338 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1957, 4 years later 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 Q159 (OECID: 0400145; BBL: 4060380013)'s energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 New York City disclosures for Q159 (OECID: 0400145; BBL: 4060380013), covering report years 2022–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 40 in 2022 to 45 in 2024 (+5 points); its best year on file was 2023, at 62. Site EUI moved from 85.4 kBtu/ft² (2022) to 71.9 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 16% decrease. Reported emissions went from 495 tCO₂e to 467 tCO₂e over the same span (down 5%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 45 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 45 means the building performs better than about 45% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 45 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 30 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. Q159 (OECID: 0400145; BBL: 4060380013)'s 71.9 kBtu/ft² across 75,700 sq ft works out to about 5.4 billion Btu (1,595 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 109.5 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 457,481 kWh of electricity, 3 therms of natural gas and 559 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires Q159 (OECID: 0400145; BBL: 4060380013) to report its energy use?
