Its site EUI of 20.7 kBtu/ft² is about 72% below the average of 74.9 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 2.0 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 62% below the group average of 5.2 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 136,380 sq ft, it is about 35% above the average floor area of 100,951 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1900, 52 years earlier than the group's average year built (1952).

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 100 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: 100 is the top of the scale. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 100 falls in band A — high performer (85–100). 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. 212 EAST 125TH STREET's 20.7 kBtu/ft² across 136,380 sq ft works out to about 2.8 billion Btu (827 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. Its source EUI of 49.8 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 640,711 kWh of electricity and 6,380 therms of natural gas for the year.
