How has 840 Newport Center's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 7 California disclosures for 840 Newport Center, covering report years 2018–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score was 83 in both 2018 and 2024. Site EUI moved from 55.2 kBtu/ft² (2018) to 49.7 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 10% decrease. Reported emissions went from 517 tCO₂e to 452 tCO₂e over the same span (down 12%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 83 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 83 means the building performs better than about 83% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 83 falls in band B — above median (70–84). 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. 840 Newport Center's 49.7 kBtu/ft² across 144,730 sq ft works out to about 7.2 billion Btu (2,108 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 1,477,938 kWh of electricity and 22,174 therms of natural gas for the year.
