Its site EUI of 55.1 kBtu/ft² is about 42% below the average of 94.3 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group.

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 50 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 50 means the building performs better than about 50% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 50 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 25 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. The Shoreham (39W55)'s 55.1 kBtu/ft² across 45,098 sq ft works out to about 2.5 billion Btu (728 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 136.0 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 589,588 kWh of electricity and 4,752 therms of natural gas for the year.
