BuildingCensus holds 4 Berkeley disclosures for 2235 San Pablo Ave, covering report years 2022–2025. Site EUI moved from 5.2 kBtu/ft² (2022) to 3.2 kBtu/ft² (2025), a 38% decrease.
What does a site EUI of 3.2 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. 2235 San Pablo Ave's 3.2 kBtu/ft² across 35,588 sq ft works out to about 0.1 billion Btu (33 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 4.3 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 5,542 kWh of electricity and 952 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires 2235 San Pablo Ave to report its energy use?
