How has Saint Francis Terrace's energy performance changed over time?

Its ENERGY STAR score went from 81 in 2019 to 92 in 2024 (+11 points); its best year on file was 2022, at 97. Site EUI moved from 33.1 kBtu/ft² (2019) to 28.3 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 15% decrease. Reported emissions went from 155 tCO₂e to 130 tCO₂e over the same span (down 16%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 92 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 92 means the building performs better than about 92% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 92 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. Saint Francis Terrace's 28.3 kBtu/ft² across 74,979 sq ft works out to about 2.1 billion Btu (622 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 368,802 kWh of electricity and 8,665 therms of natural gas for the year.
