How has R054, R702 (?) (OECID: 0500091; BBL: 5019870104)'s energy performance changed over time?

BuildingCensus holds 3 New York City disclosures for R054, R702 (?) (OECID: 0500091; BBL: 5019870104), covering report years 2022–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 60 in 2022 to 61 in 2024 (+1 points); its best year on file was 2023, at 68. Site EUI moved from 71.7 kBtu/ft² (2022) to 65.5 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 9% decrease. Reported emissions went from 514 tCO₂e to 538 tCO₂e over the same span (up 5%).

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 61 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 61 means the building performs better than about 61% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 61 falls in band C — below median (55–69). It sits 14 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. R054, R702 (?) (OECID: 0500091; BBL: 5019870104)'s 65.5 kBtu/ft² across 94,600 sq ft works out to about 6.2 billion Btu (1,816 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 101.1 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 541,469 kWh of electricity, 882 therms of natural gas and 694 thousand gallons of water for the year.

Which law requires R054, R702 (?) (OECID: 0500091; BBL: 5019870104) to report its energy use?
