Agron 1

How does Agron 1 compare with other non-refrigerated warehouse buildings in California?

The latest disclosures cover 2,867 non-refrigerated warehouse buildings in California, out of 40,029 buildings citywide. Agron 1's ENERGY STAR score of 65 compares with an average of 68 across the 2,227 that report a score; it scores higher than 35% of them and lower than 64%. Its site EUI of 11.1 kBtu/ft² is about half of the average of 21.7 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 0.7 kgCO₂e/ft² is about half of the group average of 1.4 kgCO₂e/ft².

At 119,118 sq ft, it is about 32% below the average floor area of 173,929 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1971, 17 years earlier than the group's average year built (1988). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 4,723 non-refrigerated warehouse buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 66 and a site EUI of 26.0 kBtu/ft².

How has Agron 1's energy performance changed over time?

BuildingCensus holds 2 California disclosures for Agron 1, covering report years 2023–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 62 in 2023 to 65 in 2024 (+3 points). Site EUI moved from 11.5 kBtu/ft² (2023) to 11.1 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 3% decrease. Reported emissions went from 91 tCO₂e to 88 tCO₂e over the same span (down 4%).

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. Agron 1's 11.1 kBtu/ft² across 119,118 sq ft works out to about 1.3 billion Btu (388 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 387,519 kWh of electricity for the year.

Which law requires Agron 1 to report its energy use?

Agron 1 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:36357671:2024). 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.
