Its site EUI of 42.7 kBtu/ft² is about 24% 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 2.9 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 19% below the group average of 3.6 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 51,711 sq ft, it is about 66% below the average floor area of 151,937 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1988, 3 years later 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 65 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 65 means the building performs better than about 65% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 65 falls in band C — below median (55–69). It sits 10 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. 5405 Morehouse's 42.7 kBtu/ft² across 51,711 sq ft works out to about 2.2 billion Btu (647 MWh-equivalent) in 2018. The disclosure also reports 598,795 kWh of electricity and 1,326 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires 5405 Morehouse to report its energy use?
