Its site EUI of 40.9 kBtu/ft² is about 27% 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 2.5 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 31% below the group average of 3.6 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 130,459 sq ft, it is about 14% below 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).

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 87 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 87 means the building performs better than about 87% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 87 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. 3070 Bristol Street's 40.9 kBtu/ft² across 130,459 sq ft works out to about 5.3 billion Btu (1,564 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 695,095 kWh of electricity and 30,952 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires 3070 Bristol Street to report its energy use?
