Its site EUI of 64.0 kBtu/ft² is roughly in line with the average of 64.5 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 6.7 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 16% above the group average of 5.8 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 71,985 sq ft, it is about 65% below the average floor area of 205,440 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1924, 16 years earlier than the group's average year built (1940). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 15,264 office buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 73 and a site EUI of 59.3 kBtu/ft².
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 60 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 60 means the building performs better than about 60% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 60 falls in band C — below median (55–69). It sits 15 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. 101 5TH AVE.'s 64.0 kBtu/ft² across 71,985 sq ft works out to about 4.6 billion Btu (1,350 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 152.1 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 1,030,853 kWh of electricity for the year.
