How has The Chrystie's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 New York City disclosures for The Chrystie, covering report years 2022–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score was 36 in both 2022 and 2024.

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 36 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 36 means the building performs better than about 36% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 36 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 39 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. The Chrystie's 103.7 kBtu/ft² across 532,640 sq ft works out to about 55.2 billion Btu (16,188 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 194.9 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 6,687,350 kWh of electricity, 253,185 therms of natural gas and 26,936 thousand gallons of water for the year.
