Its site EUI of 44.3 kBtu/ft² is about 21% below the average of 56.4 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 2.9 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 19% below the group average of 3.6 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 238,464 sq ft, it is about 57% above the average floor area of 151,937 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1978, 7 years earlier than the group's average year built (1985).

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 77 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 77 means the building performs better than about 77% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 77 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. 00504 - New Administration Center's 44.3 kBtu/ft² across 238,464 sq ft works out to about 10.6 billion Btu (3,096 MWh-equivalent) in 2020. The disclosure also reports 3,099,388 kWh of electricity for the year.
