Its ENERGY STAR score went from 79 in 2018 to 90 in 2024 (+11 points); its best year on file was 2022, at 92. Site EUI moved from 45.3 kBtu/ft² (2018) to 30.8 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 32% decrease. Reported emissions went from 755 tCO₂e to 486 tCO₂e over the same span (down 36%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 90 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 90 means the building performs better than about 90% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 90 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. 88 Kearny Street's 30.8 kBtu/ft² across 248,682 sq ft works out to about 7.7 billion Btu (2,245 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 1,704,712 kWh of electricity and 18,895 therms of natural gas for the year.
