The latest disclosures cover 6,214 office buildings in California, out of 40,029 buildings citywide. 801 Tower's ENERGY STAR score of 95 compares with an average of 75 across the 4,912 that report a score; it scores higher than 78% of them and lower than 20%. Its site EUI of 30.4 kBtu/ft² is about half of 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 2.0 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 44% below the group average of 3.6 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 492,320 sq ft, it is about 224% above the average floor area of 151,937 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1992, 7 years later 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 801 Tower's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 7 California disclosures for 801 Tower, covering report years 2018–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 83 in 2018 to 95 in 2024 (+12 points). Site EUI moved from 43.5 kBtu/ft² (2018) to 30.4 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 30% decrease. Reported emissions went from 1,502 tCO₂e to 992 tCO₂e over the same span (down 34%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 95 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 95 means the building performs better than about 95% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 95 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. 801 Tower's 30.4 kBtu/ft² across 492,320 sq ft works out to about 15 billion Btu (4,386 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 4,365,770 kWh of electricity and 636 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires 801 Tower to report its energy use?
801 Tower 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:4097011:2024). 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.
