How does Bushwick Gardens compare with other multifamily housing buildings in New York City?

Bushwick Gardens's ENERGY STAR score of 95 compares with an average of 63 across the 22,829 that report a score; it scores higher than 83% of them and lower than 16%. Its site EUI of 56.2 kBtu/ft² is about 25% below the average of 74.9 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 3.3 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 37% below the group average of 5.2 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 138,761 sq ft, it is about 37% above the average floor area of 100,951 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 2007, 55 years later than the group's average year built (1952). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 59,945 multifamily housing buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 70 and a site EUI of 59.0 kBtu/ft².
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 95 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 95 means the building performs better than about 95% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 95 falls in band A — high performer (85–100). 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. Bushwick Gardens's 56.2 kBtu/ft² across 138,761 sq ft works out to about 7.8 billion Btu (2,285 MWh-equivalent) in 2022. Its source EUI of 77.2 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 423,126 kWh of electricity and 7,415 thousand gallons of water for the year.
