How has 3471 W. 5Th Street's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 2 California disclosures for 3471 W. 5Th Street, covering report years 2019–2020. Its ENERGY STAR score was 92 in both 2019 and 2020.

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 92 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 92 means the building performs better than about 92% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 92 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. 3471 W. 5Th Street's 63.5 kBtu/ft² across 55,713 sq ft works out to about 3.5 billion Btu (1,037 MWh-equivalent) in 2020. The disclosure also reports 229,189 kWh of electricity and 24,316 therms of natural gas for the year.
