Its ENERGY STAR score went from 77 in 2020 to 72 in 2024 (-5 points); its best year on file was 2021, at 86. Site EUI moved from 43.0 kBtu/ft² (2020) to 46.6 kBtu/ft² (2024), an 8% increase. Reported emissions went from 990 tCO₂e to 1,101 tCO₂e over the same span (up 11%).

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 72 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 72 means the building performs better than about 72% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 72 falls in band B — above median (70–84). It sits 3 points below 75, the threshold for ENERGY STAR certification. 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. 215 Fremont's 46.6 kBtu/ft² across 371,600 sq ft works out to about 17.3 billion Btu (5,075 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 4,025,788 kWh of electricity and 35,722 therms of natural gas for the year.
