What does that mean? I can understand ranking points for a player but not for a building.

It's how many ranking points you get if you build it. If/when you delete it you lose those points.

The points also go up if you move it up Eras.

Buildings points
When a building is placed in the city its point value is added to the ranking. When it is removed, its value is subtracted. The points calculation method is different for Great Buildings and for all the other city buildings.
The ranking points for each building is calculated in the following way:
Width and length are quite clear, but the remaining factors could use an explanation:
Building Type Factor For most of the buildings this factor equals 1. For Diamond buildings and event buildings* it is 2 (a building cannot be Diamond and event building at the same time). Town hall has the highest Building Type Factor which is 3. This basically means that Diamond buildings and event buildings are worth twice as much as a normal building from the same era.
*Monasteries are considered event buildings and thus this factor is 2 for them.
Age Factor

| Iron Age | 4 |
| Early Middle Age | 10 |
| High Middle Age | 20 |
| Late Middle Ages | 30 |

| Tomorrow Era | 1 000 |
| The Future | 1 600 |
| Arctic Future | 2 400 |
| Oceanic Future | 3 000 |
| Virtual Future | 4 000 |
| Space Age Mars | 6 500 |
| No Age (1) | 100 |
| Multi Age (2) | Adopts value of the age factor of the era they are currently in. |
| All Age (3) | 20 |
(1) No Age. There are only two No Age buildings: Observatory and Temple of Relics. (2) Multi Age. For example Champion's Retreat. (3) All Age. For example Victory Tower or Wishing Well. Example Cottage from Iron Age is worth 16 points, because it occupies a square 2 by 2, is a normal building type and comes from Iron Age. Therefore, according to the formula: Width * Length * Building Type Factor * Age Factor 2*2*1*4=16
