Its ENERGY STAR score went from 100 in 2022 to 32 in 2024 (-68 points); its best year on file was 2022, at 100. Site EUI moved from 24.0 kBtu/ft² (2022) to 92.6 kBtu/ft² (2024), an 286% increase. Reported emissions went from 209 tCO₂e to 779 tCO₂e over the same span (up 273%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 32 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 32 means the building performs better than about 32% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 32 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 43 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. ROBBINS PLAZA's 92.6 kBtu/ft² across 109,200 sq ft works out to about 10.1 billion Btu (2,964 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 144.4 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 669,713 kWh of electricity and 3,234 therms of natural gas for the year.
