Its site EUI of 45.4 kBtu/ft² is about 30% below the average of 64.5 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 4.2 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 28% below the group average of 5.8 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 122,989 sq ft, it is about 40% below the average floor area of 205,440 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1925, 15 years earlier than the group's average year built (1940).

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 82 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 82 means the building performs better than about 82% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 82 falls in band B — above median (70–84). 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. 96 Morton Street's 45.4 kBtu/ft² across 122,989 sq ft works out to about 5.6 billion Btu (1,636 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 96.6 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 1,007,848 kWh of electricity and 21,472 therms of natural gas for the year.
