How does Biomedical Innovation compare with other laboratory buildings in California?
The latest disclosures cover 308 laboratory buildings in California, out of 40,029 buildings citywide. Its site EUI of 88.7 kBtu/ft² is about half of the average of 181.8 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 5.9 kgCO₂e/ft² is about half of the group average of 11.1 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 218,803 sq ft, it is about 80% above the average floor area of 121,485 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 2019, 27 years later than the group's average year built (1992). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 795 laboratory buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 29 and a site EUI of 231.7 kBtu/ft².
How has Biomedical Innovation's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 4 California disclosures for Biomedical Innovation, covering report years 2021–2024. Site EUI moved from 119.9 kBtu/ft² (2021) to 88.7 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 26% decrease. Reported emissions went from 1,589 tCO₂e to 1,288 tCO₂e over the same span (down 19%).
What does a site EUI of 88.7 kBtu/ft² mean?
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. Biomedical Innovation's 88.7 kBtu/ft² across 218,803 sq ft works out to about 19.4 billion Btu (5,688 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 5,605,181 kWh of electricity for the year.
Which law requires Biomedical Innovation to report its energy use?
Biomedical Innovation 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:21372937:2024). 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.
