How has 650 5Th St.'s energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 6 California disclosures for 650 5Th St., covering report years 2018, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 46 in 2018 to 96 in 2024 (+50 points); its best year on file was 2020, at 100. Site EUI moved from 53.0 kBtu/ft² (2018) to 21.2 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 60% decrease. Reported emissions went from 195 tCO₂e to 73 tCO₂e over the same span (down 63%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 96 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 96 means the building performs better than about 96% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 96 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. 650 5Th St.'s 21.2 kBtu/ft² across 53,277 sq ft works out to about 1.1 billion Btu (331 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 271,485 kWh of electricity and 2,123 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires 650 5Th St. to report its energy use?
650 5Th St. 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:2291034:2024).
