Centre Plaza's ENERGY STAR score of 30 compares with an average of 65 across the 147 that report a score; it scores higher than 20% of them and lower than 79%. Its site EUI of 115.6 kBtu/ft² is about 18% above the average of 97.6 kBtu/ft² — it uses more energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 9.6 kgCO₂e/ft² is roughly in line with the group average of 8.8 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 44,147 sq ft, it is about 41% below the average floor area of 75,019 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1928, 37 years earlier than the group's average year built (1965). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 1,266 medical office buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 64 and a site EUI of 92.2 kBtu/ft².
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 30 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 30 means the building performs better than about 30% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 30 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 45 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. Centre Plaza's 115.6 kBtu/ft² across 44,147 sq ft works out to about 5.1 billion Btu (1,496 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 220.1 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 730,219 kWh of electricity, 26,108 therms of natural gas and 1,932 thousand gallons of water for the year.
