Its ENERGY STAR score went from 100 in 2019 to 99 in 2024 (-1 points); its best year on file was 2019, at 100. Site EUI moved from 28.3 kBtu/ft² (2019) to 32.1 kBtu/ft² (2024), an 13% increase. Reported emissions went from 137 tCO₂e to 136 tCO₂e over the same span (down 1%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 99 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 99 means the building performs better than about 99% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 99 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. Media Towers I's 32.1 kBtu/ft² across 69,486 sq ft works out to about 2.2 billion Btu (654 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 324,627 kWh of electricity for the year.
