How does 1790Bell compare with other distribution center buildings in California?
The latest disclosures cover 3,121 distribution center buildings in California, out of 40,029 buildings citywide. 1790Bell's ENERGY STAR score of 93 compares with an average of 67 across the 2,485 that report a score; it scores higher than 73% of them and lower than 24%. Its site EUI of 5.0 kBtu/ft² is about 75% below the average of 19.8 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 0.3 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 75% below the group average of 1.3 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 259,835 sq ft, it is roughly in line with the average floor area of 238,298 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 2022, 28 years later than the group's average year built (1994). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 4,082 distribution center buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 65 and a site EUI of 24.2 kBtu/ft².
How has 1790Bell's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 California disclosures for 1790Bell, covering report years 2022–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 94 in 2022 to 93 in 2024 (-1 points); its best year on file was 2023, at 95. Site EUI moved from 5.2 kBtu/ft² (2022) to 5.0 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 4% decrease. Reported emissions went from 89 tCO₂e to 86 tCO₂e over the same span (down 4%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 93 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 93 means the building performs better than about 93% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 93 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. 1790Bell's 5.0 kBtu/ft² across 259,835 sq ft works out to about 1.3 billion Btu (381 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 380,347 kWh of electricity for the year.
Which law requires 1790Bell to report its energy use?
