How has RUTLAND TOWERS's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 New York City disclosures for RUTLAND TOWERS, covering report years 2022–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score was 53 in both 2022 and 2024.

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 53 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 53 means the building performs better than about 53% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 53 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 22 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. RUTLAND TOWERS's 65.6 kBtu/ft² across 60,700 sq ft works out to about 4 billion Btu (1,167 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 110.3 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 429,308 kWh of electricity and 13,211 therms of natural gas for the year.
