How has 580 California Street's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 7 California disclosures for 580 California Street, covering report years 2018–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 82 in 2018 to 91 in 2024 (+9 points); its best year on file was 2023, at 99. Site EUI moved from 52.2 kBtu/ft² (2018) to 29.3 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 44% decrease. Reported emissions went from 318 tCO₂e to 656 tCO₂e over the same span (up 106%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 91 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 91 means the building performs better than about 91% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 91 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. 580 California Street's 29.3 kBtu/ft² across 362,715 sq ft works out to about 10.6 billion Btu (3,115 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 1,916,333 kWh of electricity and 41,745 therms of natural gas for the year.
