How has Eight70's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 6 California disclosures for Eight70, covering report years 2019–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 100 in 2019 to 96 in 2024 (-4 points); its best year on file was 2019, at 100. Site EUI moved from 12.4 kBtu/ft² (2019) to 15.3 kBtu/ft² (2024), an 23% increase. Reported emissions went from 81 tCO₂e to 98 tCO₂e over the same span (up 21%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 96 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 96 means the building performs better than about 96% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 96 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. Eight70's 15.3 kBtu/ft² across 106,400 sq ft works out to about 1.6 billion Btu (477 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 253,404 kWh of electricity for the year.
Which law requires Eight70 to report its energy use?
Eight70 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:6349680:2024).
