Its site EUI of 78.0 kBtu/ft² is about 38% above the average of 56.4 kBtu/ft² — it uses more energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 4.7 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 31% above the group average of 3.6 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 67,538 sq ft, it is about 56% below the average floor area of 151,937 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1993, 8 years later than the group's average year built (1985).

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 43 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 43 means the building performs better than about 43% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 43 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 32 points below 75, the threshold for ENERGY STAR certification. 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. 6500 Hollister Ave's 78.0 kBtu/ft² across 67,538 sq ft works out to about 5.3 billion Btu (1,544 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 927,642 kWh of electricity and 20,183 therms of natural gas for the year.
