Holloway

How does Holloway compare with other multifamily housing buildings in California?

The latest disclosures cover 10,630 multifamily housing buildings in California, out of 40,029 buildings citywide. Holloway's ENERGY STAR score of 44 compares with an average of 82 across the 9,612 that report a score; it scores higher than 8% of them and lower than 92%. Its site EUI of 49.7 kBtu/ft² is about 44% above the average of 34.4 kBtu/ft² — it uses more energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 2.7 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 27% above the group average of 2.1 kgCO₂e/ft².

At 137,640 sq ft, it is roughly in line with the average floor area of 150,919 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1969, 19 years earlier than the group's average year built (1988). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 59,945 multifamily housing buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 70 and a site EUI of 59.0 kBtu/ft².

How has Holloway's energy performance changed over time?

BuildingCensus holds 2 California disclosures for Holloway, covering report years 2023–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 46 in 2023 to 44 in 2024 (-2 points); its best year on file was 2023, at 46. Site EUI moved from 45.2 kBtu/ft² (2023) to 49.7 kBtu/ft² (2024), an 10% increase. Reported emissions went from 378 tCO₂e to 367 tCO₂e over the same span (down 3%).

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 44 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 44 means the building performs better than about 44% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 44 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 31 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. Holloway's 49.7 kBtu/ft² across 137,640 sq ft works out to about 6.8 billion Btu (2,005 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 471,044 kWh of electricity and 48,972 therms of natural gas for the year.

Which law requires Holloway to report its energy use?

Holloway 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:32611258:2024). AB 802 requires every California commercial building over 50,000 sq ft to report energy use to the CEC annually; the CEC publicly discloses the results statewide.
