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. 706 Madison Avenue's 106.1 kBtu/ft² across 39,218 sq ft works out to about 4.2 billion Btu (1,219 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 242.8 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher.
