How has The Lombardy Hotel's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 2 New York City disclosures for The Lombardy Hotel, covering report years 2022–2023. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 73 in 2022 to 94 in 2023 (+21 points).

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 94 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 94 means the building performs better than about 94% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 94 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 Lombardy Hotel's 50.2 kBtu/ft² across 247,600 sq ft works out to about 12.4 billion Btu (3,643 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. Its source EUI of 100.3 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 1,975,599 kWh of electricity and 56,832 therms of natural gas for the year.
