Its site EUI of 54.8 kBtu/ft² is about 39% above the average of 39.3 kBtu/ft² — it uses more energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 4.1 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 32% above the group average of 3.1 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 26,679 sq ft, it is about 68% below the average floor area of 83,240 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1962, 9 years later than the group's average year built (1953).

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 46 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 46 means the building performs better than about 46% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 46 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 29 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. 21-32 Borden Avenue's 54.8 kBtu/ft² across 26,679 sq ft works out to about 1.5 billion Btu (428 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 91.0 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 149,438 kWh of electricity and 9,534 therms of natural gas for the year.
