The Paper Factory Hotel's ENERGY STAR score of 93 compares with an average of 50 across the 853 that report a score; it scores higher than 91% of them and lower than 8%. Its site EUI of 41.2 kBtu/ft² is about 56% below the average of 94.3 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 3.4 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 56% below the group average of 7.8 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 80,200 sq ft, it is about 42% below the average floor area of 137,256 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 2013, 38 years later than the group's average year built (1975). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 3,812 hotel buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 65 and a site EUI of 77.8 kBtu/ft².
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 93 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 93 means the building performs better than about 93% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 93 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 Paper Factory Hotel's 41.2 kBtu/ft² across 80,200 sq ft works out to about 3.3 billion Btu (968 MWh-equivalent) in 2022. Its source EUI of 111.7 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 919,245 kWh of electricity and 2,454 thousand gallons of water for the year.
