Its site EUI of 6.2 kBtu/ft² is about 82% below the average of 34.4 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 0.4 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 80% below the group average of 2.1 kgCO₂e/ft².

At 98,280 sq ft, it is about 35% below the average floor area of 150,919 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1999, 11 years later than the group's average year built (1988). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 59,945 multifamily housing buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 70 and a site EUI of 59.0 kBtu/ft².

How has 765 Bristlecone Ln's energy performance changed over time?

BuildingCensus holds 5 California disclosures for 765 Bristlecone Ln, covering report years 2020–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score was 100 in both 2020 and 2024. Site EUI moved from 8.5 kBtu/ft² (2020) to 6.2 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 27% decrease. Reported emissions went from 50 tCO₂e to 41 tCO₂e over the same span (down 18%).

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 100 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: 100 is the top of the scale. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 100 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. 765 Bristlecone Ln's 6.2 kBtu/ft² across 98,280 sq ft works out to about 0.6 billion Btu (179 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 178,920 kWh of electricity for the year.

Which law requires 765 Bristlecone Ln to report its energy use?

765 Bristlecone Ln 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:16861326:2024). 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.
