The Harrison's ENERGY STAR score of 98 compares with an average of 82 across the 9,612 that report a score; it scores higher than 66% of them and lower than 29%. Its site EUI of 32.4 kBtu/ft² is roughly in line with the average of 34.4 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 2.0 kgCO₂e/ft² is roughly in line with the group average of 2.1 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 474,828 sq ft, it is about 215% above the average floor area of 150,919 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 2013, 25 years later 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 The Harrison's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 California disclosures for The Harrison, covering report years 2020–2022. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 95 in 2020 to 98 in 2022 (+3 points). Site EUI moved from 37.5 kBtu/ft² (2020) to 32.4 kBtu/ft² (2022), a 14% decrease. Reported emissions went from 969 tCO₂e to 939 tCO₂e over the same span (down 3%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 98 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 98 means the building performs better than about 98% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 98 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. The Harrison's 32.4 kBtu/ft² across 474,828 sq ft works out to about 15.4 billion Btu (4,509 MWh-equivalent) in 2022. The disclosure also reports 2,210,859 kWh of electricity and 79,447 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires The Harrison to report its energy use?
