How does 5Th &Amp; O compare with other office buildings in California?
The latest disclosures cover 6,214 office buildings in California, out of 40,029 buildings citywide. 5Th &Amp; O's ENERGY STAR score of 99 compares with an average of 75 across the 4,912 that report a score; it scores higher than 88% of them and lower than 9%. Its site EUI of 19.7 kBtu/ft² is about 65% 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 1.3 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 64% below the group average of 3.6 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 80,640 sq ft, it is about half of the average floor area of 151,937 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1963, 22 years earlier than the group's average year built (1985). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 15,264 office buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 73 and a site EUI of 59.3 kBtu/ft².
How has 5Th &Amp; O's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 2 California disclosures for 5Th &Amp; O, covering report years 2023–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score was 99 in both 2023 and 2024. Site EUI moved from 20.2 kBtu/ft² (2023) to 19.7 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 2% decrease. Reported emissions went from 104 tCO₂e to 105 tCO₂e over the same span (up 1%).
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. 5Th &Amp; O's 19.7 kBtu/ft² across 80,640 sq ft works out to about 1.6 billion Btu (466 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 337,713 kWh of electricity and 5,412 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires 5Th &Amp; O to report its energy use?
5Th &Amp; O 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:34605719:2024). 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.
