How has R059 (OECID: 0500563; BBL: 5000140032)'s energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 New York City disclosures for R059 (OECID: 0500563; BBL: 5000140032), covering report years 2022–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 73 in 2022 to 67 in 2024 (-6 points); its best year on file was 2022, at 73. Site EUI moved from 53.2 kBtu/ft² (2022) to 47.2 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 11% decrease. Reported emissions went from 168 tCO₂e to 185 tCO₂e over the same span (up 10%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 67 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 67 means the building performs better than about 67% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 67 falls in band C — below median (55–69). It sits 8 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. R059 (OECID: 0500563; BBL: 5000140032)'s 47.2 kBtu/ft² across 49,090 sq ft works out to about 2.3 billion Btu (679 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 84.9 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 290,657 kWh of electricity, 13,247 therms of natural gas and 5 thousand gallons of water for the year.
