24680-Brookdale Camarillo

How does 24680-Brookdale Camarillo compare with other senior care community buildings in California?

The latest disclosures cover 20 senior care community buildings in California, out of 40,029 buildings citywide. 24680-Brookdale Camarillo's ENERGY STAR score of 42 compares with an average of 60 across the 19 that report a score; it scores higher than 32% of them and lower than 63%. Its site EUI of 75.0 kBtu/ft² is about 27% above the average of 59.0 kBtu/ft² — it uses more energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 5.0 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 34% above the group average of 3.7 kgCO₂e/ft².

At 88,000 sq ft, it is about 18% below the average floor area of 107,097 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 2000, 11 years later than the group's average year built (1989). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 40 senior care community buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 49 and a site EUI of 93.5 kBtu/ft².

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 42 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 42 means the building performs better than about 42% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 42 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 33 points below 75, the threshold for ENERGY STAR certification. 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. 24680-Brookdale Camarillo's 75.0 kBtu/ft² across 88,000 sq ft works out to about 6.6 billion Btu (1,934 MWh-equivalent) in 2019. The disclosure also reports 1,403,303 kWh of electricity and 18,544 therms of natural gas for the year.

Which law requires 24680-Brookdale Camarillo to report its energy use?

24680-Brookdale Camarillo 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 2019 disclosure (source record california:4768785:2019). 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.
