What does an ENERGY STAR score of 27 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 27 means the building performs better than about 27% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 27 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 48 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. 350 Holger Way's 112.8 kBtu/ft² across 96,502 sq ft works out to about 10.9 billion Btu (3,190 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 2,192,654 kWh of electricity for the year.

Which law requires 350 Holger Way to report its energy use?

350 Holger Way 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:26675668:2024). AB 802 requires every California commercial building over 50,000 sq ft to report energy use to the CEC annually; the CEC publicly discloses the results statewide.
