Its site EUI of 87.6 kBtu/ft² is about 17% above the average of 74.9 kBtu/ft² — it uses more energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 5.2 kgCO₂e/ft² is roughly in line with the group average of 5.2 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 54,000 sq ft, it is about half of the average floor area of 100,951 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1936, 16 years earlier than the group's average year built (1952).

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 64 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 64 means the building performs better than about 64% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 64 falls in band C — below median (55–69). It sits 11 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. 625 Caton Avenue's 87.6 kBtu/ft² across 54,000 sq ft works out to about 4.7 billion Btu (1,386 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. Its source EUI of 109.6 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 159,605 kWh of electricity and 41,835 therms of natural gas for the year.
