How has Q242 (OECID: 0401439; BBL: 4043710173)'s energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 New York City disclosures for Q242 (OECID: 0401439; BBL: 4043710173), covering report years 2022–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 54 in 2022 to 46 in 2024 (-8 points); its best year on file was 2022, at 54. Site EUI moved from 64.0 kBtu/ft² (2022) to 63.2 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 1% decrease. Reported emissions went from 254 tCO₂e to 319 tCO₂e over the same span (up 26%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 46 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 46 means the building performs better than about 46% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 46 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 29 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. Q242 (OECID: 0401439; BBL: 4043710173)'s 63.2 kBtu/ft² across 59,592 sq ft works out to about 3.8 billion Btu (1,104 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 119.8 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 535,185 kWh of electricity, 16,646 therms of natural gas and 312 thousand gallons of water for the year.
