WSM - 37 West 26th Street's ENERGY STAR score of 86 compares with an average of 72 across the 2,519 that report a score; it scores higher than 65% of them and lower than 33%. Its site EUI of 53.2 kBtu/ft² is about 18% below the average of 64.5 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 4.7 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 19% below the group average of 5.8 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 112,259 sq ft, it is about half of the average floor area of 205,440 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1908, 32 years earlier than the group's average year built (1940).

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 86 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 86 means the building performs better than about 86% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 86 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. WSM - 37 West 26th Street's 53.2 kBtu/ft² across 112,259 sq ft works out to about 6 billion Btu (1,750 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. Its source EUI of 103.8 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 913,604 kWh of electricity and 10,607 therms of natural gas for the year.
