Its site EUI of 371.2 kBtu/ft² is about 366% above the average of 79.6 kBtu/ft² — it uses more energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 27.6 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 401% above the group average of 5.5 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 77,505 sq ft, it is roughly in line with the average floor area of 85,583 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1901, 45 years earlier than the group's average year built (1947).

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 1 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: 1 is the bottom of the scale. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 1 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 74 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. Brooks Hall's 371.2 kBtu/ft² across 77,505 sq ft works out to about 28.8 billion Btu (8,432 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 375.0 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher.
