What does an ENERGY STAR score of 54 mean?

BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 54 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 21 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. 571 Ovington Avenue's 80.6 kBtu/ft² across 27,548 sq ft works out to about 2.2 billion Btu (651 MWh-equivalent) in 2024.
