Its emissions intensity of 21.9 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 29% above the group average of 17.0 kgCO₂e/ft².

At 57,514 sq ft, it is about 11% above the average floor area of 51,810 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1996, 22 years later than the group's average year built (1974).

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 41 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 41 means the building performs better than about 41% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 41 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 34 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. StopShop 566's 250.0 kBtu/ft² across 57,514 sq ft works out to about 14.4 billion Btu (4,214 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 506.3 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 2,348,397 kWh of electricity, 63,654 therms of natural gas and 1,085 thousand gallons of water for the year.
