How does 1625 Adrian Road compare with other vehicle dealership buildings in California?

The latest disclosures cover 141 vehicle dealership buildings in California, out of 40,029 buildings citywide. 1625 Adrian Road's ENERGY STAR score of 87 compares with an average of 68 across the 122 that report a score; it scores higher than 62% of them and lower than 35%. Its site EUI of 29.4 kBtu/ft² is about 41% below the average of 49.6 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 1.9 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 39% below the group average of 3.2 kgCO₂e/ft².

At 53,507 sq ft, it is about 40% below the average floor area of 89,700 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1959, 23 years earlier than the group's average year built (1982). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 318 vehicle dealership buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 57 and a site EUI of 62.8 kBtu/ft².

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 87 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 87 means the building performs better than about 87% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 87 falls in band A — high performer (85–100). Scores of 75 or higher meet the threshold for ENERGY STAR certification; certification itself is a separate, verified application that the disclosure does not record. In California, 65% 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. 1625 Adrian Road's 29.4 kBtu/ft² across 53,507 sq ft works out to about 1.6 billion Btu (461 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 438,509 kWh of electricity and 838 therms of natural gas for the year.

Which law requires 1625 Adrian Road to report its energy use?

1625 Adrian Road reports under AB 802 (Public Resources Code §25402.10), the legal basis of California's Building Energy Benchmarking Program (statewide), which publishes each covered building's annual benchmarking results. The record shown here is the report-year 2024 disclosure (source record california:53560694:2024). AB 802 requires every California commercial building over 50,000 sq ft to report energy use to the CEC annually; the CEC publicly discloses the results statewide.
