How has 49 Stevenson's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 4 California disclosures for 49 Stevenson, covering report years 2018–2021. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 87 in 2018 to 92 in 2021 (+5 points). Site EUI moved from 49.3 kBtu/ft² (2018) to 47.1 kBtu/ft² (2021), a 4% decrease. Reported emissions went from 403 tCO₂e to 328 tCO₂e over the same span (down 19%).
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. 49 Stevenson's 47.1 kBtu/ft² across 124,359 sq ft works out to about 5.9 billion Btu (1,717 MWh-equivalent) in 2021. The disclosure also reports 786,887 kWh of electricity and 31,123 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires 49 Stevenson to report its energy use?
