Help reading carbon charge energy report

Hello,

In section 3 of my building’s energy report it shows a Difference with a negative number in green.  Is that good or bad?

Section 3 of the energy report subtracts two percent changes to compare your building’s energy performance to Yale’s.  If the “Difference” box shows a negative number it will be green, which means that compared to the average of all Yale buildings in the carbon charge, your building is doing well.  If the “Difference” box shows a positive number it will be red, which means that compared to the average of all Yale buildings in the carbon charge, your building is not doing well.
