What does an ENERGY STAR score of 1 mean?

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. 127 4TH AVENUE's 131.9 kBtu/ft² across 49,050 sq ft works out to about 6.5 billion Btu (1,896 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 236.8 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 807,663 kWh of electricity, 37,129 therms of natural gas and 4,994 thousand gallons of water for the year.
