Its site EUI of 58.5 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 5.9 kgCO₂e/ft² is roughly in line with the group average of 5.8 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 73,610 sq ft, it is about 64% below the average floor area of 205,440 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1931, 9 years earlier than the group's average year built (1940).

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 61 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 61 means the building performs better than about 61% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 61 falls in band C — below median (55–69). It sits 14 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. 59-73 West Street's 58.5 kBtu/ft² across 73,610 sq ft works out to about 4.3 billion Btu (1,262 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 139.9 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 967,348 kWh of electricity and 10,074 therms of natural gas for the year.
