At 33,700 sq ft, it is about 71% below the average floor area of 116,370 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1969, 5 years later than the group's average year built (1964).
How has The Sheild Institute's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 2 New York City disclosures for The Sheild Institute, covering report years 2023–2024. Site EUI moved from 51.4 kBtu/ft² (2023) to 59.2 kBtu/ft² (2024), an 15% increase. Reported emissions went from 163 tCO₂e to 189 tCO₂e over the same span (up 16%).
What does a site EUI of 59.2 kBtu/ft² mean?
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 Sheild Institute's 59.2 kBtu/ft² across 33,700 sq ft works out to about 2 billion Btu (585 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 116.6 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 312,762 kWh of electricity, 1,445 therms of natural gas and 672 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires The Sheild Institute to report its energy use?
