The latest disclosures cover 2,301 K-12 school buildings in New York City, out of 48,310 buildings citywide. Q244 (OECID: 0401638; BBL: 4051370043)'s ENERGY STAR score of 4 compares with an average of 64 across the 2,052 that report a score; it scores higher than 2% of them and lower than 98%. Its site EUI of 110.9 kBtu/ft² is about 81% 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 10.6 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 121% above the group average of 4.8 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 42,000 sq ft, it is about 59% below the average floor area of 101,338 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 2006, 53 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 Q244 (OECID: 0401638; BBL: 4051370043)'s energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 New York City disclosures for Q244 (OECID: 0401638; BBL: 4051370043), covering report years 2022–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 2 in 2022 to 4 in 2024 (+2 points). Site EUI moved from 123.0 kBtu/ft² (2022) to 110.9 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 10% decrease. Reported emissions went from 401 tCO₂e to 445 tCO₂e over the same span (up 11%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 4 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 4 means the building performs better than about 4% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 4 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 71 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. Q244 (OECID: 0401638; BBL: 4051370043)'s 110.9 kBtu/ft² across 42,000 sq ft works out to about 4.7 billion Btu (1,365 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 249.5 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 935,554 kWh of electricity and 14,672 therms of natural gas for the year.
