X859 (OECID: 0200057; BBL: 2031860049)'s ENERGY STAR score of 78 compares with an average of 64 across the 2,052 that report a score; it scores higher than 63% of them and lower than 36%. Its site EUI of 45.0 kBtu/ft² is about 27% below the average of 61.3 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 4.0 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 16% below the group average of 4.8 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 40,310 sq ft, it is about 60% below the average floor area of 101,338 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1927, 26 years earlier than the group's average year built (1954). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 6,548 K-12 school buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 64 and a site EUI of 52.7 kBtu/ft².
How has X859 (OECID: 0200057; BBL: 2031860049)'s energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 New York City disclosures for X859 (OECID: 0200057; BBL: 2031860049), covering report years 2022–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 77 in 2022 to 78 in 2024 (+1 points); its best year on file was 2023, at 84. Site EUI moved from 48.8 kBtu/ft² (2022) to 45.0 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 8% decrease. Reported emissions went from 138 tCO₂e to 161 tCO₂e over the same span (up 17%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 78 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 78 means the building performs better than about 78% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 78 falls in band B — above median (70–84). 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. X859 (OECID: 0200057; BBL: 2031860049)'s 45.0 kBtu/ft² across 40,310 sq ft works out to about 1.8 billion Btu (532 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 92.9 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 307,790 kWh of electricity, 7,647 therms of natural gas and 245 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires X859 (OECID: 0200057; BBL: 2031860049) to report its energy use?
