The Echelon's ENERGY STAR score of 81 compares with an average of 63 across the 22,829 that report a score; it scores higher than 64% of them and lower than 34%. Its site EUI of 38.5 kBtu/ft² is about half of the average of 74.9 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 3.8 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 26% below the group average of 5.2 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 80,000 sq ft, it is about 21% below the average floor area of 100,951 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 2006, 54 years later than the group's average year built (1952).

How has The Echelon's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 New York City disclosures for The Echelon, covering report years 2022–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 95 in 2022 to 81 in 2024 (-14 points); its best year on file was 2022, at 95. Site EUI moved from 27.9 kBtu/ft² (2022) to 38.5 kBtu/ft² (2024), an 38% increase. Reported emissions went from 275 tCO₂e to 307 tCO₂e over the same span (up 12%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 81 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 81 means the building performs better than about 81% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 81 falls in band B — above median (70–84). 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. The Echelon's 38.5 kBtu/ft² across 80,000 sq ft works out to about 3.1 billion Btu (903 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 91.1 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 678,164 kWh of electricity, 7,672 therms of natural gas and 2,013 thousand gallons of water for the year.
