Sapphire Property Management:172-17 JAMAICA AVENUE's ENERGY STAR score of 99 compares with an average of 63 across the 22,829 that report a score; it scores higher than 88% of them and lower than 10%. Its site EUI of 22.6 kBtu/ft² is about 70% below the average of 74.9 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group.

At 32,490 sq ft, it is about 68% below the average floor area of 100,951 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 2008, 56 years later than the group's average year built (1952).

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 99 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 99 means the building performs better than about 99% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 99 falls in band A — high performer (85–100). Scores of 75 or higher meet the threshold for ENERGY STAR certification; certification itself is a separate, verified application that the disclosure does not record. 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. Sapphire Property Management:172-17 JAMAICA AVENUE's 22.6 kBtu/ft² across 32,490 sq ft works out to about 0.7 billion Btu (215 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 63.4 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 215,507 kWh of electricity and 1,754 thousand gallons of water for the year.
