How has Q208 (OECID: 0401481; BBL: 4078700070)'s energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 New York City disclosures for Q208 (OECID: 0401481; BBL: 4078700070), covering report years 2022–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 10 in 2022 to 48 in 2024 (+38 points); its best year on file was 2023, at 90. Site EUI moved from 146.2 kBtu/ft² (2022) to 142.6 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 2% decrease. Reported emissions went from 888 tCO₂e to 731 tCO₂e over the same span (down 18%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 48 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 48 means the building performs better than about 48% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 48 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 27 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. Q208 (OECID: 0401481; BBL: 4078700070)'s 142.6 kBtu/ft² across 87,600 sq ft works out to about 12.5 billion Btu (3,661 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 168.4 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 276,431 kWh of electricity, 111,344 therms of natural gas and 1,341 thousand gallons of water for the year.
