How has Huntington Terrace's energy performance changed over time?

Its ENERGY STAR score went from 100 in 2022 to 97 in 2024 (-3 points); its best year on file was 2022, at 100. Site EUI moved from 46.7 kBtu/ft² (2023) to 49.5 kBtu/ft² (2024), an 6% increase. Reported emissions went from 220 tCO₂e to 296 tCO₂e over the same span (up 34%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 97 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 97 means the building performs better than about 97% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 97 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. Huntington Terrace's 49.5 kBtu/ft² across 96,377 sq ft works out to about 4.8 billion Btu (1,398 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 850,506 kWh of electricity and 19,449 therms of natural gas for the year.
