Its site EUI of 52.4 kBtu/ft² is about 44% below the average of 94.3 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group.

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 73 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 73 means the building performs better than about 73% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 73 falls in band B — above median (70–84). It sits 2 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. Holiday Inn Express Jamaica's 52.4 kBtu/ft² across 87,633 sq ft works out to about 4.6 billion Btu (1,346 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 108.2 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 779,790 kWh of electricity and 19,343 therms of natural gas for the year.
