What does an ENERGY STAR score of 71 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 71 means the building performs better than about 71% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 71 falls in band B — above median (70–84). It sits 4 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. 205 State Street's 61.2 kBtu/ft² across 311,600 sq ft works out to about 19.1 billion Btu (5,589 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 109.7 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher.
