How has The Factory's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 New York City disclosures for The Factory, covering report years 2022–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 96 in 2022 to 97 in 2024 (+1 points); its best year on file was 2023, at 98. Site EUI moved from 29.1 kBtu/ft² (2022) to 24.8 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 15% decrease. Reported emissions went from 66 tCO₂e to 62 tCO₂e over the same span (down 6%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 97 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 97 means the building performs better than about 97% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 97 falls in band A — high performer (85–100). Scores of 75 or higher meet the threshold for ENERGY STAR certification; certification itself is a separate, verified application that the disclosure does not record. 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 Factory's 24.8 kBtu/ft² across 39,000 sq ft works out to about 1 billion Btu (283 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 34.0 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 51,962 kWh of electricity, 7,883 therms of natural gas and 84 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires The Factory to report its energy use?
The Factory reports under Local Law 84 (LL84), the legal basis of New York City's Energy and Water Data Disclosure program, which publishes each covered building's annual benchmarking results.
