How has Herbert Hoover Memorial Bldg's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 6 California disclosures for Herbert Hoover Memorial Bldg, covering report years 2019–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 38 in 2019 to 93 in 2024 (+55 points); its best year on file was 2022, at 93. Site EUI moved from 135.5 kBtu/ft² (2019) to 25.3 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 81% decrease. Reported emissions went from 889 tCO₂e to 176 tCO₂e over the same span (down 80%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 93 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 93 means the building performs better than about 93% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 93 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. Herbert Hoover Memorial Bldg's 25.3 kBtu/ft² across 106,484 sq ft works out to about 2.7 billion Btu (790 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 775,802 kWh of electricity for the year.
