At 17,509 sq ft, it is about 80% below the average floor area of 87,151 sq ft for those buildings.
How has 2400 DOWLING PL's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 Berkeley disclosures for 2400 DOWLING PL, covering report years 2022–2024. Site EUI moved from 37.1 kBtu/ft² (2022) to 29.4 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 21% decrease.
What does a site EUI of 29.4 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. 2400 DOWLING PL's 29.4 kBtu/ft² across 17,509 sq ft works out to about 0.5 billion Btu (151 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 65.0 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 100,150 kWh of electricity and 1,734 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires 2400 DOWLING PL to report its energy use?
2400 DOWLING PL 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 2024 disclosure (source record berkeley:7120:2024). 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.
