What does an ENERGY STAR score of 36 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 36 means the building performs better than about 36% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 36 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 39 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. Gold - 179 Henry St's 62.0 kBtu/ft² across 81,560 sq ft works out to about 5.1 billion Btu (1,482 MWh-equivalent) in 2022. Its source EUI of 108.9 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher.
