The latest disclosures cover 81 community center and social meeting hall buildings in New York City, out of 48,310 buildings citywide. Its site EUI of 106.7 kBtu/ft² is about 15% above the average of 92.5 kBtu/ft² — it uses more energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 9.0 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 11% above the group average of 8.1 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 53,252 sq ft, it is about 36% above the average floor area of 39,212 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1891, 48 years earlier than the group's average year built (1939).
What does a site EUI of 106.7 kBtu/ft² mean?
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. The Century Association's 106.7 kBtu/ft² across 53,252 sq ft works out to about 5.7 billion Btu (1,665 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 197.1 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 705,493 kWh of electricity, 12,298 therms of natural gas and 8,285 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires The Century Association to report its energy use?
