Bloomfield Industrial Center

How does Bloomfield Industrial Center compare with other distribution center buildings in California?

The latest disclosures cover 3,121 distribution center buildings in California, out of 40,029 buildings citywide. Bloomfield Industrial Center's ENERGY STAR score of 92 compares with an average of 67 across the 2,485 that report a score; it scores higher than 70% of them and lower than 27%. Its site EUI of 4.0 kBtu/ft² is about 80% below the average of 19.8 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 0.3 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 77% below the group average of 1.3 kgCO₂e/ft².

At 75,960 sq ft, it is about 68% below the average floor area of 238,298 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1990, 4 years earlier than the group's average year built (1994). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 4,082 distribution center buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 65 and a site EUI of 24.2 kBtu/ft².

How has Bloomfield Industrial Center's energy performance changed over time?

BuildingCensus holds 3 California disclosures for Bloomfield Industrial Center, covering report years 2020–2022. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 97 in 2020 to 92 in 2022 (-5 points); its best year on file was 2020, at 97. Site EUI moved from 3.1 kBtu/ft² (2020) to 4.0 kBtu/ft² (2022), an 29% increase. Reported emissions went from 16 tCO₂e to 21 tCO₂e over the same span (up 33%).

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 92 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 92 means the building performs better than about 92% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 92 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. Bloomfield Industrial Center's 4.0 kBtu/ft² across 75,960 sq ft works out to about 0.3 billion Btu (89 MWh-equivalent) in 2022. The disclosure also reports 88,579 kWh of electricity for the year.

Which law requires Bloomfield Industrial Center to report its energy use?

Bloomfield Industrial Center 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 2022 disclosure (source record california:11709545:2022). 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.
