At 17,823 sq ft, it is about half of the average floor area of 33,316 sq ft for those buildings.
How has 2533 DURANT AVE's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 Berkeley disclosures for 2533 DURANT AVE, covering report years 2023–2025. Site EUI moved from 38.8 kBtu/ft² (2023) to 38.9 kBtu/ft² (2025), an 0% increase.
What does a site EUI of 38.9 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. 2533 DURANT AVE's 38.9 kBtu/ft² across 17,823 sq ft works out to about 0.7 billion Btu (203 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 52.0 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 33,469 kWh of electricity and 5,785 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires 2533 DURANT AVE to report its energy use?
2533 DURANT AVE 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:7730:2025). 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.
