How does Airport Ii compare with other office buildings in California?
The latest disclosures cover 6,214 office buildings in California, out of 40,029 buildings citywide. Airport Ii's ENERGY STAR score of 70 compares with an average of 75 across the 4,912 that report a score; it scores higher than 30% of them and lower than 69%. Its site EUI of 51.8 kBtu/ft² is roughly in line with 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 3.4 kgCO₂e/ft² is roughly in line with the group average of 3.6 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 80,000 sq ft, it is about half of the average floor area of 151,937 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1978, 7 years earlier 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.
How has Airport Ii's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 2 California disclosures for Airport Ii, covering report years 2019–2020. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 72 in 2019 to 70 in 2020 (-2 points); its best year on file was 2019, at 72. Site EUI moved from 49.6 kBtu/ft² (2019) to 51.8 kBtu/ft² (2020), an 4% increase. Reported emissions went from 260 tCO₂e to 268 tCO₂e over the same span (up 3%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 70 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 70 means the building performs better than about 70% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 70 falls in band B — above median (70–84). It sits 5 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. Airport Ii's 51.8 kBtu/ft² across 80,000 sq ft works out to about 4.1 billion Btu (1,214 MWh-equivalent) in 2020. The disclosure also reports 974,125 kWh of electricity and 8,986 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Airport Ii to report its energy use?
Airport Ii 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 2020 disclosure (source record california:3374989:2020). 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.
