How has University Park South's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 4 California disclosures for University Park South, covering report years 2020, 2021, 2022, 2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 89 in 2020 to 92 in 2024 (+3 points). Site EUI moved from 51.2 kBtu/ft² (2020) to 40.2 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 21% decrease. Reported emissions went from 206 tCO₂e to 171 tCO₂e over the same span (down 17%).
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. University Park South's 40.2 kBtu/ft² across 65,338 sq ft works out to about 2.6 billion Btu (770 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 533,355 kWh of electricity and 9,520 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires University Park South to report its energy use?
