Its ENERGY STAR score went from 86 in 2018 to 88 in 2024 (+2 points); its best year on file was 2020, at 95. Site EUI moved from 38.5 kBtu/ft² (2018) to 32.9 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 15% decrease.

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 88 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 88 means the building performs better than about 88% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 88 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. 201 Third Street's 32.9 kBtu/ft² across 346,538 sq ft works out to about 11.4 billion Btu (3,341 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 2,047,223 kWh of electricity and 44,598 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires 201 Third Street to report its energy use?
201 Third Street reports under AB 802 (Public Resources Code §25402.10), the legal basis of California's Building Energy Benchmarking Program (statewide), which publishes each covered building's annual benchmarking results. The record shown here is the report-year 2024 disclosure (source record california:2910581:2024).
