Its site EUI of 79.2 kBtu/ft² is about 29% below the average of 112.0 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 6.3 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 26% below the group average of 8.5 kgCO₂e/ft².

At 94,903 sq ft, it is about 13% below the average floor area of 108,590 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1969, 5 years earlier than the group's average year built (1974).

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. Shore View Nursing and Rehabilitation Center's 79.2 kBtu/ft² across 94,903 sq ft works out to about 7.5 billion Btu (2,203 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. Its source EUI of 148.7 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 1,040,657 kWh of electricity, 39,685 therms of natural gas and 6,771 thousand gallons of water for the year.
