Its site EUI of 26.1 kBtu/ft² is about 58% below the average of 62.6 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group.

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 71 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 71 means the building performs better than about 71% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 71 falls in band B — above median (70–84). It sits 4 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. Blessed Sacrament's 26.1 kBtu/ft² across 34,656 sq ft works out to about 0.9 billion Btu (265 MWh-equivalent) in 2022. Its source EUI of 41.4 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 83,785 kWh of electricity for the year.
