What does an ENERGY STAR score of 80 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 80 means the building performs better than about 80% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 80 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. ZARA - 140-30/50 Ash Ave's 66.1 kBtu/ft² across 151,584 sq ft works out to about 10 billion Btu (2,936 MWh-equivalent) in 2024.

The disclosure also reports 384,335 kWh of electricity, 87,122 therms of natural gas and 9,868 thousand gallons of water for the year.
