How has Br41014-868 Cowan Road's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 4 California disclosures for Br41014-868 Cowan Road, covering report years 2021–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 78 in 2022 to 76 in 2024 (-2 points); its best year on file was 2022, at 78. Site EUI moved from 9.1 kBtu/ft² (2022) to 9.5 kBtu/ft² (2024), an 4% increase. Reported emissions went from 35 tCO₂e to 35 tCO₂e over the same span (up 1%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 76 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 76 means the building performs better than about 76% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 76 falls in band B — above median (70–84). 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. Br41014-868 Cowan Road's 9.5 kBtu/ft² across 55,700 sq ft works out to about 0.5 billion Btu (155 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 155,352 kWh of electricity for the year.
Which law requires Br41014-868 Cowan Road to report its energy use?
