Its site EUI of 2.7 kBtu/ft² is about 96% below the average of 74.9 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 0.1 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 98% below the group average of 5.2 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 84,380 sq ft, it is about 16% below the average floor area of 100,951 sq ft for those buildings. Its 1951 construction date is close to the group's average year built (1952).

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 100 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: 100 is the top of the scale. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 100 falls in band A — high performer (85–100). Scores of 75 or higher meet the threshold for ENERGY STAR certification; certification itself is a separate, verified application that the disclosure does not record. 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. 797 SCHENCK AVE's 2.7 kBtu/ft² across 84,380 sq ft works out to about 0.2 billion Btu (67 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. Its source EUI of 2.9 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 2,312 therms of natural gas for the year.
