How has The Metropolitan's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 6 California disclosures for The Metropolitan, covering report years 2019–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 34 in 2019 to 67 in 2024 (+33 points); its best year on file was 2023, at 93. Site EUI moved from 41.2 kBtu/ft² (2019) to 43.3 kBtu/ft² (2024), an 5% increase. Reported emissions went from 610 tCO₂e to 611 tCO₂e over the same span (up 0%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 67 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 67 means the building performs better than about 67% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 67 falls in band C — below median (55–69). It sits 8 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. The Metropolitan's 43.3 kBtu/ft² across 233,731 sq ft works out to about 10.1 billion Btu (2,966 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 1,672,339 kWh of electricity for the year.
Which law requires The Metropolitan to report its energy use?
The Metropolitan 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:4679881:2024).
