What does an ENERGY STAR score of 74 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 74 means the building performs better than about 74% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 74 falls in band B — above median (70–84). It sits 1 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. 90-23 149th Street's 76.5 kBtu/ft² across 110,150 sq ft works out to about 8.4 billion Btu (2,470 MWh-equivalent) in 2024.

The disclosure also reports 398,968 kWh of electricity, 70,692 therms of natural gas and 8,546 thousand gallons of water for the year.
