What does an ENERGY STAR score of 23 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 23 means the building performs better than about 23% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 23 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 52 points below 75, the threshold for ENERGY STAR certification. 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. Parnassus Heights Medical Center's 108.7 kBtu/ft² across 77,089 sq ft works out to about 8.4 billion Btu (2,456 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 188.1 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 954,447 kWh of electricity and 51,268 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Parnassus Heights Medical Center to report its energy use?
