How has Q297 (OECID: 0401776; BBL: 4012470041)'s energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 New York City disclosures for Q297 (OECID: 0401776; BBL: 4012470041), covering report years 2022–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 1 in 2022 to 2 in 2024 (+1 points); its best year on file was 2023, at 3. Site EUI moved from 157.7 kBtu/ft² (2022) to 143.8 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 9% decrease. Reported emissions went from 368 tCO₂e to 389 tCO₂e over the same span (up 6%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 2 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 2 means the building performs better than about 2% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 2 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 73 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. Q297 (OECID: 0401776; BBL: 4012470041)'s 143.8 kBtu/ft² across 36,200 sq ft works out to about 5.2 billion Btu (1,526 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 238.8 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 532,673 kWh of electricity, 33,878 therms of natural gas and 2,721 thousand gallons of water for the year.
