Its site EUI of 36.7 kBtu/ft² is about 40% below the average of 61.3 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 2.7 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 43% below the group average of 4.8 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 28,800 sq ft, it is about 72% below the average floor area of 101,338 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1933, 20 years earlier than the group's average year built (1954).

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 88 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 88 means the building performs better than about 88% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 88 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. 85 Parkville Avenue's 36.7 kBtu/ft² across 28,800 sq ft works out to about 1.1 billion Btu (310 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 60.5 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 105,832 kWh of electricity and 6,968 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires 85 Parkville Avenue to report its energy use?
