How does 2013 SECOND ST compare with other multifamily (5+ units) buildings in Berkeley?
The latest disclosures cover 202 multifamily (5+ units) buildings in Berkeley, out of 440 buildings citywide. Its site EUI of 16.7 kBtu/ft² is about half of the average of 32.9 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group.
At 26,500 sq ft, it is about 20% below the average floor area of 33,316 sq ft for those buildings.
How has 2013 SECOND ST's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 4 Berkeley disclosures for 2013 SECOND ST, covering report years 2022–2025. Site EUI moved from 19.8 kBtu/ft² (2022) to 16.7 kBtu/ft² (2025), a 16% decrease.
What does a site EUI of 16.7 kBtu/ft² mean?
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. 2013 SECOND ST's 16.7 kBtu/ft² across 26,500 sq ft works out to about 0.4 billion Btu (130 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 31.5 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 62,308 kWh of electricity and 2,287 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires 2013 SECOND ST to report its energy use?
2013 SECOND ST reports under BESO (BMC Chapter 19.81), the legal basis of Berkeley's Building Emissions Saving Ordinance, which publishes each covered building's annual benchmarking results. The record shown here is the report-year 2025 disclosure (source record berkeley:8860:2025). Berkeley's BESO requires annual benchmarking for commercial and multifamily buildings of 15,000 sq ft or more, with energy assessments at time of listing and every five years for buildings of 25,000 sq ft or more.
