How does B-7 compare with other office buildings in California?
The latest disclosures cover 6,214 office buildings in California, out of 40,029 buildings citywide. B-7's ENERGY STAR score of 13 compares with an average of 75 across the 4,912 that report a score; it scores higher than 5% of them and lower than 95%. Its site EUI of 129.6 kBtu/ft² is about 130% above the average of 56.4 kBtu/ft² — it uses more energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 7.4 kgCO₂e/ft² is about twice the group average of 3.6 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 50,514 sq ft, it is about 67% below the average floor area of 151,937 sq ft for those buildings. Its 1984 construction date is close to 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 B-7's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 6 California disclosures for B-7, covering report years 2019–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 29 in 2019 to 13 in 2024 (-16 points); its best year on file was 2019, at 29. Site EUI moved from 125.4 kBtu/ft² (2019) to 129.6 kBtu/ft² (2024), an 3% increase. Reported emissions went from 362 tCO₂e to 376 tCO₂e over the same span (up 4%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 13 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 13 means the building performs better than about 13% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 13 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 62 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. B-7's 129.6 kBtu/ft² across 50,514 sq ft works out to about 6.5 billion Btu (1,919 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 884,943 kWh of electricity and 32,977 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires B-7 to report its energy use?
B-7 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:9137633:2024). 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.
