Its site EUI of 25.7 kBtu/ft² is about 35% below the average of 39.3 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 2.7 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 13% below the group average of 3.1 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 81,128 sq ft, it is roughly in line with the average floor area of 83,240 sq ft for those buildings. Its 1952 construction date is close to the group's average year built (1953). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 4,723 non-refrigerated warehouse buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 66 and a site EUI of 26.0 kBtu/ft².
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. 25-20 Borden Avenue's 25.7 kBtu/ft² across 81,128 sq ft works out to about 2.1 billion Btu (611 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 64.3 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 506,878 kWh of electricity and 3,559 therms of natural gas for the year.
