How has 41 HILL RD's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 4 Berkeley disclosures for 41 HILL RD, covering report years 2022–2025. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 21 in 2022 to 11 in 2025 (-10 points); its best year on file was 2022, at 21. Site EUI moved from 28.0 kBtu/ft² (2022) to 34.2 kBtu/ft² (2025), an 22% increase.
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 11 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 11 means the building performs better than about 11% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 11 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 64 points below 75, the threshold for ENERGY STAR certification. 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. 41 HILL RD's 34.2 kBtu/ft² across 16,264 sq ft works out to about 0.6 billion Btu (163 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 45.7 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 26,899 kWh of electricity and 4,637 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires 41 HILL RD to report its energy use?
41 HILL RD reports under BESO (BMC Chapter 19.81), the legal basis of Berkeley's Building Emissions Saving Ordinance, which publishes each covered building's annual benchmarking results.
