The Veneto's ENERGY STAR score of 45 compares with an average of 63 across the 22,829 that report a score; it scores higher than 28% of them and lower than 72%. Its site EUI of 52.2 kBtu/ft² is about 30% below the average of 74.9 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 4.8 kgCO₂e/ft² is roughly in line with the group average of 5.2 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 242,284 sq ft, it is about 140% above the average floor area of 100,951 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 2008, 56 years later than the group's average year built (1952). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 59,945 multifamily housing buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 70 and a site EUI of 59.0 kBtu/ft².
How has The Veneto's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 New York City disclosures for The Veneto, covering report years 2022–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 42 in 2022 to 45 in 2024 (+3 points). Site EUI moved from 59.4 kBtu/ft² (2022) to 52.2 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 12% decrease. Reported emissions went from 1,030 tCO₂e to 1,171 tCO₂e over the same span (up 14%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 45 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 45 means the building performs better than about 45% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 45 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 30 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 Veneto's 52.2 kBtu/ft² across 242,284 sq ft works out to about 12.6 billion Btu (3,707 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 113.0 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 2,361,844 kWh of electricity and 45,847 therms of natural gas for the year.
