How has 500 Shatto's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 6 California disclosures for 500 Shatto, covering report years 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2024. Site EUI moved from 21.3 kBtu/ft² (2019) to 16.9 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 21% decrease. Reported emissions went from 99 tCO₂e to 79 tCO₂e over the same span (down 20%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 99 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 99 means the building performs better than about 99% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 99 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. 500 Shatto's 16.9 kBtu/ft² across 69,413 sq ft works out to about 1.2 billion Btu (344 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 346,976 kWh of electricity for the year.
