Its ENERGY STAR score went from 94 in 2019 to 90 in 2021 (-4 points); its best year on file was 2019, at 94. Site EUI moved from 24.2 kBtu/ft² (2019) to 25.8 kBtu/ft² (2021), an 7% increase.

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 90 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 90 means the building performs better than about 90% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 90 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 Philadelphia, 35% 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. Bank Street Court's 25.8 kBtu/ft² across 59,000 sq ft works out to about 1.5 billion Btu (446 MWh-equivalent) in 2021. Its source EUI of 72.1 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 445,540 kWh of electricity and 1,231 thousand gallons of water for the year.
