Its site EUI of 17.4 kBtu/ft² is about 72% below the average of 62.6 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 1.3 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 72% below the group average of 4.6 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 47,121 sq ft, it is roughly in line with the average floor area of 44,868 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1885, 52 years earlier than the group's average year built (1937). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 1,035 worship facility buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 50 and a site EUI of 47.8 kBtu/ft².
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 81 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 81 means the building performs better than about 81% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 81 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. 120 West 60th Street's 17.4 kBtu/ft² across 47,121 sq ft works out to about 0.8 billion Btu (240 MWh-equivalent) in 2022. Its source EUI of 41.2 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 180,936 kWh of electricity and 225 thousand gallons of water for the year.
