How has R034 (OECID: 0500082; BBL: 5078940001)'s energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 New York City disclosures for R034 (OECID: 0500082; BBL: 5078940001), covering report years 2022–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 54 in 2022 to 72 in 2024 (+18 points); its best year on file was 2023, at 73. Site EUI moved from 104.8 kBtu/ft² (2022) to 79.0 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 25% decrease. Reported emissions went from 1,027 tCO₂e to 846 tCO₂e over the same span (down 18%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 72 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 72 means the building performs better than about 72% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 72 falls in band B — above median (70–84). It sits 3 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. R034 (OECID: 0500082; BBL: 5078940001)'s 79.0 kBtu/ft² across 128,525 sq ft works out to about 10.2 billion Btu (2,976 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 114.3 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 722,875 kWh of electricity, 3,971 therms of natural gas and 1,075 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires R034 (OECID: 0500082; BBL: 5078940001) to report its energy use?
