Its site EUI of 59.4 kBtu/ft² is roughly in line with the average of 64.5 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 4.5 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 22% below the group average of 5.8 kgCO₂e/ft².

At 79,474 sq ft, it is about 61% below the average floor area of 205,440 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1923, 17 years earlier than the group's average year built (1940).

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 57 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 57 means the building performs better than about 57% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 57 falls in band C — below median (55–69). It sits 18 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. 37 W 57th St.'s 59.4 kBtu/ft² across 79,474 sq ft works out to about 4.7 billion Btu (1,384 MWh-equivalent) in 2022. Its source EUI of 121.8 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 734,583 kWh of electricity and 823 thousand gallons of water for the year.
