How does 470 Park Ave S compare with other office buildings in New York City?

Its site EUI of 64.4 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 5.0 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 14% below the group average of 5.8 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 296,493 sq ft, it is about 44% above the average floor area of 205,440 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1912, 28 years earlier than the group's average year built (1940). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 15,264 office buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 73 and a site EUI of 59.3 kBtu/ft².
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 85 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 85 means the building performs better than about 85% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 85 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. 470 Park Ave S's 64.4 kBtu/ft² across 296,493 sq ft works out to about 19.1 billion Btu (5,596 MWh-equivalent) in 2022. Its source EUI of 120.9 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 2,705,301 kWh of electricity and 1,816 thousand gallons of water for the year.
