How does 444 W. Ocean compare with other office buildings in California?
The latest disclosures cover 6,214 office buildings in California, out of 40,029 buildings citywide. 444 W. Ocean's ENERGY STAR score of 70 compares with an average of 75 across the 4,912 that report a score; it scores higher than 30% of them and lower than 69%. Its site EUI of 49.0 kBtu/ft² is about 13% 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 3.4 kgCO₂e/ft² is roughly in line with the group average of 3.6 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 188,248 sq ft, it is about 24% above the average floor area of 151,937 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1968, 17 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 70 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 70 means the building performs better than about 70% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 70 falls in band B — above median (70–84). It sits 5 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. 444 W. Ocean's 49.0 kBtu/ft² across 188,248 sq ft works out to about 9.2 billion Btu (2,703 MWh-equivalent) in 2018. The disclosure also reports 2,458,675 kWh of electricity and 8,322 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires 444 W. Ocean to report its energy use?
444 W. Ocean 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:3424305:2018). 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.
