How has Q245 (OECID: 0401634; BBL: 4034280015)'s energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 New York City disclosures for Q245 (OECID: 0401634; BBL: 4034280015), covering report years 2022–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score was 1 in both 2022 and 2024. Site EUI moved from 143.4 kBtu/ft² (2022) to 155.7 kBtu/ft² (2024), an 9% increase. Reported emissions went from 397 tCO₂e to 556 tCO₂e over the same span (up 40%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 1 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: 1 is the bottom of the scale. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 1 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 74 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. Q245 (OECID: 0401634; BBL: 4034280015)'s 155.7 kBtu/ft² across 38,500 sq ft works out to about 6 billion Btu (1,757 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 338.0 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 1,125,270 kWh of electricity, 21,552 therms of natural gas and 247 thousand gallons of water for the year.
