Its site EUI of 23.5 kBtu/ft² is about 58% 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 1.6 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 57% below the group average of 3.6 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 116,092 sq ft, it is about 24% below the average floor area of 151,937 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1916, 69 years earlier than the group's average year built (1985).

How has 530 Bush's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 7 California disclosures for 530 Bush, covering report years 2018–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 84 in 2018 to 94 in 2024 (+10 points). Site EUI moved from 49.4 kBtu/ft² (2018) to 23.5 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 52% decrease. Reported emissions went from 378 tCO₂e to 180 tCO₂e over the same span (down 52%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 94 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 94 means the building performs better than about 94% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 94 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. 530 Bush's 23.5 kBtu/ft² across 116,092 sq ft works out to about 2.7 billion Btu (800 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 786,921 kWh of electricity and 339 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires 530 Bush to report its energy use?
530 Bush 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:3197929:2024).
