How has 1534 California St's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 California disclosures for 1534 California St, covering report years 2018–2020. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 98 in 2018 to 100 in 2020 (+2 points). Reported emissions went from 105 tCO₂e to 14 tCO₂e over the same span (down 87%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 100 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: 100 is the top of the scale. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 100 falls in band A — high performer (85–100). 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. 1534 California St's 3.2 kBtu/ft² across 65,635 sq ft works out to about 0.2 billion Btu (62 MWh-equivalent) in 2020. The disclosure also reports 60,637 kWh of electricity for the year.
