How does 222 Kearny Street compare with other office buildings in California?

Its site EUI of 34.9 kBtu/ft² is about 38% 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 2.4 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 33% below the group average of 3.6 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 164,927 sq ft, it is roughly in line with the average floor area of 151,937 sq ft for those buildings. Its 1986 construction date is close to the group's average year built (1985). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 15,264 office buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 73 and a site EUI of 59.3 kBtu/ft².
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 91 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 91 means the building performs better than about 91% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 91 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. 222 Kearny Street's 34.9 kBtu/ft² across 164,927 sq ft works out to about 5.8 billion Btu (1,687 MWh-equivalent) in 2018. The disclosure also reports 1,270,719 kWh of electricity for the year.
Which law requires 222 Kearny Street to report its energy use?
222 Kearny 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 2018 disclosure (source record california:3086787:2018).
