Its ENERGY STAR score went from 39 in 2022 to 22 in 2024 (-17 points); its best year on file was 2022, at 39. Site EUI moved from 58.2 kBtu/ft² (2022) to 69.0 kBtu/ft² (2024), an 19% increase.

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 22 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 22 means the building performs better than about 22% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 22 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 53 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. Galaxy Plaza's 69.0 kBtu/ft² across 44,000 sq ft works out to about 3 billion Btu (890 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 125.8 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 392,788 kWh of electricity, 16,958 therms of natural gas and 1,022 thousand gallons of water for the year.
