How has Q841 (OECID: 0401880; BBL: 4002320023)'s energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 2 New York City disclosures for Q841 (OECID: 0401880; BBL: 4002320023), covering report years 2022–2023. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 57 in 2022 to 62 in 2023 (+5 points). Site EUI moved from 66.7 kBtu/ft² (2022) to 57.0 kBtu/ft² (2023), a 15% decrease. Reported emissions went from 216 tCO₂e to 204 tCO₂e over the same span (down 6%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 62 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 62 means the building performs better than about 62% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 62 falls in band C — below median (55–69). It sits 13 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. Q841 (OECID: 0401880; BBL: 4002320023)'s 57.0 kBtu/ft² across 41,933 sq ft works out to about 2.4 billion Btu (700 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. Its source EUI of 89.7 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 220,728 kWh of electricity for the year.
