Its site EUI of 129.9 kBtu/ft² is about 38% above the average of 94.3 kBtu/ft² — it uses more energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 11.5 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 48% above the group average of 7.8 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 191,060 sq ft, it is about 39% above the average floor area of 137,256 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1996, 21 years later than the group's average year built (1975). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 3,812 hotel buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 65 and a site EUI of 77.8 kBtu/ft².
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 13 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 13 means the building performs better than about 13% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 13 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 62 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. Soho Grand Hotel's 129.9 kBtu/ft² across 191,060 sq ft works out to about 24.8 billion Btu (7,274 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 256.2 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 3,596,603 kWh of electricity and 33,315 therms of natural gas for the year.
