Its ENERGY STAR score went from 37 in 2018 to 52 in 2021 (+15 points); its best year on file was 2020, at 58. Site EUI moved from 24.1 kBtu/ft² (2018) to 17.9 kBtu/ft² (2021), a 26% decrease. Reported emissions went from 108 tCO₂e to 80 tCO₂e over the same span (down 26%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 52 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 52 means the building performs better than about 52% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 52 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 23 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. Children'S Hunger Fund's 17.9 kBtu/ft² across 65,918 sq ft works out to about 1.2 billion Btu (346 MWh-equivalent) in 2021. The disclosure also reports 319,250 kWh of electricity and 1,006 therms of natural gas for the year.
