Its site EUI of 50.5 kBtu/ft² is about 18% below the average of 61.3 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 3.9 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 19% below the group average of 4.8 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 36,900 sq ft, it is about 64% below the average floor area of 101,338 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1930, 23 years earlier than the group's average year built (1954).

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 66 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 66 means the building performs better than about 66% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 66 falls in band C — below median (55–69). It sits 9 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. 396 Grant Ave's 50.5 kBtu/ft² across 36,900 sq ft works out to about 1.9 billion Btu (546 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 86.6 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 207,692 kWh of electricity, 11,535 therms of natural gas and 345 thousand gallons of water for the year.
