How has The Set's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 2 New York City disclosures for The Set, covering report years 2023–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 1 in 2023 to 47 in 2024 (+46 points). Site EUI moved from 168.8 kBtu/ft² (2023) to 66.6 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 61% decrease. Reported emissions went from 2,304 tCO₂e to 2,942 tCO₂e over the same span (up 28%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 47 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 47 means the building performs better than about 47% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 47 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 28 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 Set's 66.6 kBtu/ft² across 511,932 sq ft works out to about 34.1 billion Btu (9,992 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 132.3 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 5,353,489 kWh of electricity and 158,033 therms of natural gas for the year.
