Its ENERGY STAR score went from 84 in 2022 to 78 in 2024 (-6 points); its best year on file was 2022, at 84. Site EUI moved from 60.5 kBtu/ft² (2022) to 65.8 kBtu/ft² (2024), an 9% increase.

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 78 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 78 means the building performs better than about 78% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 78 falls in band B — above median (70–84). 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. 2300 University Ave's 65.8 kBtu/ft² across 27,330 sq ft works out to about 1.8 billion Btu (527 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 90.3 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 97,230 kWh of electricity and 14,669 therms of natural gas for the year.
