Its site EUI of 70.1 kBtu/ft² is roughly in line with the average of 64.5 kBtu/ft². Its emissions intensity of 4.2 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 27% below the group average of 5.8 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 29,589 sq ft, it is about 86% below the average floor area of 205,440 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1896, 44 years earlier than the group's average year built (1940).

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 84 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 84 means the building performs better than about 84% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 84 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. 1181 BROADWAY's 70.1 kBtu/ft² across 29,589 sq ft works out to about 2.1 billion Btu (608 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 88.0 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 71,163 kWh of electricity and 18,321 therms of natural gas for the year.
