Its ENERGY STAR score went from 99 in 2022 to 100 in 2025 (+1 points); its best year on file was 2024, at 100. Site EUI moved from 20.9 kBtu/ft² (2021) to 22.4 kBtu/ft² (2025), an 7% increase. Reported emissions went from 244 tCO₂e to 236 tCO₂e over the same span (down 3%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 100 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: 100 is the top of the scale. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 100 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 Francisco, 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. Alta Potrero (pt013)'s 22.4 kBtu/ft² across 208,038 sq ft works out to about 4.7 billion Btu (1,366 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 46.4 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 722,900 kWh of electricity and 17,835 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Alta Potrero (pt013) to report its energy use?
