Its site EUI of 63.4 kBtu/ft² is about 12% above the average of 56.4 kBtu/ft² — it uses more energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 4.0 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 11% above the group average of 3.6 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 115,200 sq ft, it is about 24% below the average floor area of 151,937 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1956, 29 years earlier than the group's average year built (1985).

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 79 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 79 means the building performs better than about 79% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 79 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 California, 65% 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. 00001 - Old Administration Building's 63.4 kBtu/ft² across 115,200 sq ft works out to about 7.3 billion Btu (2,140 MWh-equivalent) in 2020. The disclosure also reports 1,102,296 kWh of electricity for the year.
