How does 500 Valley compare with other distribution center buildings in California?
The latest disclosures cover 3,121 distribution center buildings in California, out of 40,029 buildings citywide. 500 Valley's ENERGY STAR score of 13 compares with an average of 67 across the 2,485 that report a score; it scores higher than 10% of them and lower than 90%. Its site EUI of 46.8 kBtu/ft² is about 136% above the average of 19.8 kBtu/ft² — it uses more energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 2.5 kgCO₂e/ft² is about twice the group average of 1.3 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 50,000 sq ft, it is about 79% below the average floor area of 238,298 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1968, 26 years earlier than the group's average year built (1994). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 4,082 distribution center buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 65 and a site EUI of 24.2 kBtu/ft².
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 13 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 13 means the building performs better than about 13% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 13 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 62 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. 500 Valley's 46.8 kBtu/ft² across 50,000 sq ft works out to about 2.3 billion Btu (686 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. The disclosure also reports 55,061 kWh of electricity for the year.
Which law requires 500 Valley to report its energy use?
500 Valley 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 2023 disclosure (source record california:12497035:2023). 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.
