Its site EUI of 88.1 kBtu/ft² is about 18% above the average of 74.9 kBtu/ft² — it uses more energy per square foot than the typical building in that group.

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 62 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 62 means the building performs better than about 62% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 62 falls in band C — below median (55–69). It sits 13 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. 1184 Nelson Ave's 88.1 kBtu/ft² across 31,080 sq ft works out to about 2.7 billion Btu (802 MWh-equivalent) in 2022. Its source EUI of 119.6 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 141,080 kWh of electricity and 2,438 thousand gallons of water for the year.
