The latest disclosures cover 2,301 K-12 school buildings in New York City, out of 48,310 buildings citywide. RAC SH Bayside 216-01 38 Ave's ENERGY STAR score of 70 compares with an average of 64 across the 2,052 that report a score; it scores higher than 51% of them and lower than 48%. Its site EUI of 60.3 kBtu/ft² is roughly in line with the average of 61.3 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 3.8 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 21% below the group average of 4.8 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 45,680 sq ft, it is about half of the average floor area of 101,338 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1927, 26 years earlier than the group's average year built (1954). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 6,548 K-12 school buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 64 and a site EUI of 52.7 kBtu/ft².
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 70 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 70 means the building performs better than about 70% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 70 falls in band B — above median (70–84). It sits 5 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. RAC SH Bayside 216-01 38 Ave's 60.3 kBtu/ft² across 45,680 sq ft works out to about 2.8 billion Btu (807 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 79.9 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 126,799 kWh of electricity, 23,215 therms of natural gas and 1 thousand gallons of water for the year.
