Its site EUI of 9.0 kBtu/ft² is about 88% below the average of 74.9 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group.

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. 840 EAST 17 STREET's 9.0 kBtu/ft² across 33,600 sq ft works out to about 0.3 billion Btu (89 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. Its source EUI of 25.2 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 88,596 kWh of electricity and 2,088 thousand gallons of water for the year.
