HARLEM RIVER's ENERGY STAR score of 30 compares with an average of 63 across the 22,829 that report a score; it scores higher than 17% of them and lower than 82%. Its site EUI of 53.0 kBtu/ft² is about 29% 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 4.4 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 15% below the group average of 5.2 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 515,550 sq ft, it is about 411% above the average floor area of 100,951 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1937, 15 years earlier than the group's average year built (1952).

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. HARLEM RIVER's 53.0 kBtu/ft² across 515,550 sq ft works out to about 27.3 billion Btu (8,008 MWh-equivalent) in 2022. Its source EUI of 141.6 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 7,417,984 kWh of electricity for the year.
