Temple Street's ENERGY STAR score of 100 compares with an average of 74 across the 2,016 that report a score; it scores higher than 93% of them. Its site EUI of 13.0 kBtu/ft² is about 62% below the average of 34.6 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 0.8 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 61% below the group average of 2.0 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 53,908 sq ft, it is about 58% below the average floor area of 129,123 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 2006, 30 years later than the group's average year built (1976). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 6,548 K-12 school buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 64 and a site EUI of 52.7 kBtu/ft².
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 100 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: 100 is the top of the scale. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 100 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. 3500 W. Temple Street's 13.0 kBtu/ft² across 53,908 sq ft works out to about 0.7 billion Btu (205 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 107,323 kWh of electricity for the year.
Which law requires 3500 W. Temple Street to report its energy use?
3500 W. Temple Street 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:52565292:2024).
