Its site EUI of 139.8 kBtu/ft² is about 87% above the average of 74.9 kBtu/ft² — it uses more energy per square foot than the typical building in that group.

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 10 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 10 means the building performs better than about 10% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 10 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 65 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. BETHUNE GARDENS's 139.8 kBtu/ft² across 179,600 sq ft works out to about 25.1 billion Btu (7,358 MWh-equivalent) in 2022. Its source EUI of 174.2 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 826,764 kWh of electricity for the year.
