Its site EUI of 52.6 kBtu/ft² is about 18% below the average of 64.5 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group.

At 736,350 sq ft, it is about 258% above the average floor area of 205,440 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1961, 21 years later than the group's average year built (1940).

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 88 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 88 means the building performs better than about 88% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 88 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. 222 Broadway's 52.6 kBtu/ft² across 736,350 sq ft works out to about 38.7 billion Btu (11,351 MWh-equivalent) in 2022. Its source EUI of 121.3 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 7,851,926 kWh of electricity and 9,342 thousand gallons of water for the year.
