How has The Magellan's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 New York City disclosures for The Magellan, covering report years 2022–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 54 in 2022 to 53 in 2024 (-1 points); its best year on file was 2023, at 67. Site EUI moved from 79.7 kBtu/ft² (2022) to 75.1 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 6% decrease. Reported emissions went from 704 tCO₂e to 769 tCO₂e over the same span (up 9%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 53 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 53 means the building performs better than about 53% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 53 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 22 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 Magellan's 75.1 kBtu/ft² across 142,411 sq ft works out to about 10.7 billion Btu (3,134 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 118.6 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 946,674 kWh of electricity, 74,699 therms of natural gas and 6,403 thousand gallons of water for the year.
