How has Hazard Center Office Tower's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 2 San Diego disclosures for Hazard Center Office Tower, covering report years 2021–2022. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 86 in 2021 to 88 in 2022 (+2 points). Site EUI moved from 42.8 kBtu/ft² (2021) to 40.7 kBtu/ft² (2022), a 5% decrease.
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 88 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 88 means the building performs better than about 88% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 88 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 San Diego, 73% 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. Hazard Center Office Tower's 40.7 kBtu/ft² across 284,000 sq ft works out to about 11.6 billion Btu (3,388 MWh-equivalent) in 2022.
