How has City Towers's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 6 California disclosures for City Towers, covering report years 2019–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 2 in 2019 to 5 in 2024 (+3 points); its best year on file was 2022, at 5. Site EUI moved from 125.9 kBtu/ft² (2019) to 100.4 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 20% decrease. Reported emissions went from 1,277 tCO₂e to 1,061 tCO₂e over the same span (down 17%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 5 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 5 means the building performs better than about 5% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 5 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 70 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. City Towers's 100.4 kBtu/ft² across 184,866 sq ft works out to about 18.6 billion Btu (5,440 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 1,525,745 kWh of electricity and 134,769 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires City Towers to report its energy use?
