Grand Central Market Apartments's ENERGY STAR score of 8 compares with an average of 82 across the 9,612 that report a score; it scores higher than 2% of them and lower than 98%. Its site EUI of 63.0 kBtu/ft² is about 83% above the average of 34.4 kBtu/ft² — it uses more energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 4.1 kgCO₂e/ft² is about twice the group average of 2.1 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 69,846 sq ft, it is about half of the average floor area of 150,919 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1918, 70 years earlier than the group's average year built (1988).

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 8 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 8 means the building performs better than about 8% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 8 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 67 points below 75, the threshold for ENERGY STAR certification. In California, 65% 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. Grand Central Market Apartments's 63.0 kBtu/ft² across 69,846 sq ft works out to about 4.4 billion Btu (1,290 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 1,074,775 kWh of electricity for the year.
