How does 199460_San Jose Main compare with other office buildings in California?
The latest disclosures cover 6,214 office buildings in California, out of 40,029 buildings citywide. 199460_San Jose Main's ENERGY STAR score of 75 compares with an average of 75 across the 4,912 that report a score; it scores higher than 35% of them and lower than 64%. Its site EUI of 54.7 kBtu/ft² is roughly in line with the average of 56.4 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 3.4 kgCO₂e/ft² is roughly in line with the group average of 3.6 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 96,082 sq ft, it is about 37% below the average floor area of 151,937 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1969, 16 years earlier than the group's average year built (1985). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 15,264 office buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 73 and a site EUI of 59.3 kBtu/ft².
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 75 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 75 means the building performs better than about 75% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 75 falls in band B — above median (70–84). 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. 199460_San Jose Main's 54.7 kBtu/ft² across 96,082 sq ft works out to about 5.3 billion Btu (1,540 MWh-equivalent) in 2020. The disclosure also reports 965,848 kWh of electricity and 19,676 therms of natural gas for the year.
