At 40,261 sq ft, it is about 20% below the average floor area of 50,513 sq ft for those buildings. Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 2,307 commercial buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 76 and a site EUI of 51.3 kBtu/ft².
How has 2235 Sacramento St's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 4 Berkeley disclosures for 2235 Sacramento St, covering report years 2022–2025. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 93 in 2022 to 84 in 2025 (-9 points); its best year on file was 2022, at 93. Site EUI moved from 70.2 kBtu/ft² (2022) to 71.5 kBtu/ft² (2025), an 2% increase.
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 84 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 84 means the building performs better than about 84% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 84 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 Berkeley, 82% 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. 2235 Sacramento St's 71.5 kBtu/ft² across 40,261 sq ft works out to about 2.9 billion Btu (844 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 120.8 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 308,564 kWh of electricity and 18,248 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires 2235 Sacramento St to report its energy use?
