How does Q859 (OECID: 0401233; BBL: 4043700050) compare with other office buildings in New York City?
The latest disclosures cover 3,384 office buildings in New York City, out of 48,310 buildings citywide. Q859 (OECID: 0401233; BBL: 4043700050)'s ENERGY STAR score of 81 compares with an average of 72 across the 2,519 that report a score; it scores higher than 54% of them and lower than 44%. Its site EUI of 52.3 kBtu/ft² is about 19% below the average of 64.5 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 5.3 kgCO₂e/ft² is roughly in line with the group average of 5.8 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 111,725 sq ft, it is about half of the average floor area of 205,440 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1955, 15 years later than the group's average year built (1940). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 15,264 office buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 73 and a site EUI of 59.3 kBtu/ft².
How has Q859 (OECID: 0401233; BBL: 4043700050)'s energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 New York City disclosures for Q859 (OECID: 0401233; BBL: 4043700050), covering report years 2022–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 76 in 2022 to 81 in 2024 (+5 points); its best year on file was 2023, at 81. Site EUI moved from 59.7 kBtu/ft² (2022) to 52.3 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 12% decrease. Reported emissions went from 512 tCO₂e to 591 tCO₂e over the same span (up 15%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 81 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 81 means the building performs better than about 81% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 81 falls in band B — above median (70–84). Scores of 75 or higher meet the threshold for ENERGY STAR certification; certification itself is a separate, verified application that the disclosure does not record. 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. Q859 (OECID: 0401233; BBL: 4043700050)'s 52.3 kBtu/ft² across 111,725 sq ft works out to about 5.8 billion Btu (1,712 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 125.7 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 1,325,227 kWh of electricity and 13,210 therms of natural gas for the year.
