How has 527 W 7Th St - 527 W 7Th St's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 7 California disclosures for 527 W 7Th St - 527 W 7Th St, covering report years 2018–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 56 in 2018 to 91 in 2024 (+35 points); its best year on file was 2020, at 95. Site EUI moved from 33.5 kBtu/ft² (2019) to 24.2 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 28% decrease. Reported emissions went from 406 tCO₂e to 140 tCO₂e over the same span (down 66%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 91 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 91 means the building performs better than about 91% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 91 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. 527 W 7Th St - 527 W 7Th St's 24.2 kBtu/ft² across 87,150 sq ft works out to about 2.1 billion Btu (618 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 617,316 kWh of electricity for the year.
Which law requires 527 W 7Th St - 527 W 7Th St to report its energy use?
527 W 7Th St - 527 W 7Th St 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:6713315:2024). 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.
