How has WCMC - Belfer's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 New York City disclosures for WCMC - Belfer, covering report years 2022–2024. Site EUI moved from 263.7 kBtu/ft² (2022) to 232.7 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 12% decrease. Reported emissions went from 9,372 tCO₂e to 12,053 tCO₂e over the same span (up 29%).
What does a site EUI of 232.7 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. WCMC - Belfer's 232.7 kBtu/ft² across 517,490 sq ft works out to about 120.4 billion Btu (35,292 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 532.2 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 23,151,070 kWh of electricity, 4 therms of natural gas and 31,174 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires WCMC - Belfer to report its energy use?
