Its site EUI of 37.4 kBtu/ft² is about 42% below 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 4.1 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 29% below the group average of 5.8 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 29,461 sq ft, it is about 86% below the average floor area of 205,440 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1914, 26 years earlier than the group's average year built (1940).

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 51 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 51 means the building performs better than about 51% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 51 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 24 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. 5220 13TH AVE.'s 37.4 kBtu/ft² across 29,461 sq ft works out to about 1.1 billion Btu (323 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. Its source EUI of 104.8 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 323,161 kWh of electricity and 298 thousand gallons of water for the year.
