How does Q253 (OECID: 0401541; BBL: 4155410001) compare with other K-12 school buildings in New York City?
The latest disclosures cover 2,301 K-12 school buildings in New York City, out of 48,310 buildings citywide. Q253 (OECID: 0401541; BBL: 4155410001)'s ENERGY STAR score of 34 compares with an average of 64 across the 2,052 that report a score; it scores higher than 16% of them and lower than 84%. Its site EUI of 75.3 kBtu/ft² is about 23% 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 6.9 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 43% above the group average of 4.8 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 98,366 sq ft, it is roughly in line with the average floor area of 101,338 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 2007, 54 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 Q253 (OECID: 0401541; BBL: 4155410001)'s energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 New York City disclosures for Q253 (OECID: 0401541; BBL: 4155410001), covering report years 2022–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 30 in 2022 to 34 in 2024 (+4 points). Site EUI moved from 81.2 kBtu/ft² (2022) to 75.3 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 7% decrease. Reported emissions went from 591 tCO₂e to 676 tCO₂e over the same span (up 14%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 34 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 34 means the building performs better than about 34% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 34 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 41 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. Q253 (OECID: 0401541; BBL: 4155410001)'s 75.3 kBtu/ft² across 98,366 sq ft works out to about 7.4 billion Btu (2,171 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 160.0 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 1,333,800 kWh of electricity, 28,575 therms of natural gas and 1,194 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires Q253 (OECID: 0401541; BBL: 4155410001) to report its energy use?
