How does 3980 Commerce Point compare with other office buildings in California?
The latest disclosures cover 6,214 office buildings in California, out of 40,029 buildings citywide. 3980 Commerce Point's ENERGY STAR score of 99 compares with an average of 75 across the 4,912 that report a score; it scores higher than 88% of them and lower than 9%. Its site EUI of 17.3 kBtu/ft² is about 69% below 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 1.2 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 67% below the group average of 3.6 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 73,744 sq ft, it is about half of the average floor area of 151,937 sq ft for those buildings. Its 1983 construction date is close to 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 99 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 99 means the building performs better than about 99% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 99 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. 3980 Commerce Point's 17.3 kBtu/ft² across 73,744 sq ft works out to about 1.3 billion Btu (374 MWh-equivalent) in 2018. The disclosure also reports 372,840 kWh of electricity for the year.
Which law requires 3980 Commerce Point to report its energy use?
3980 Commerce Point 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 2018 disclosure (source record california:6152895:2018).
