How has Harbor Gateway's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 California disclosures for Harbor Gateway, covering report years 2019–2021. Only one of those years carries energy figures.
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 100 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: 100 is the top of the scale. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 100 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. Harbor Gateway's 0.5 kBtu/ft² across 116,697 sq ft works out to about 0.1 billion Btu (17 MWh-equivalent) in 2021. The disclosure also reports 18,758 kWh of electricity for the year.
Which law requires Harbor Gateway to report its energy use?
Harbor Gateway 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 2021 disclosure (source record california:3610509:2021).
