How does California Automobile Museum compare with other museum buildings in California?
The latest disclosures cover 48 museum buildings in California, out of 40,029 buildings citywide. Its site EUI of 9.9 kBtu/ft² is about 87% below the average of 73.5 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 0.6 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 86% below the group average of 4.4 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 69,000 sq ft, it is about half of the average floor area of 137,839 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1953, 21 years earlier than the group's average year built (1974).
What does a site EUI of 9.9 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. California Automobile Museum's 9.9 kBtu/ft² across 69,000 sq ft works out to about 0.7 billion Btu (200 MWh-equivalent) in 2022. The disclosure also reports 127,040 kWh of electricity and 2,648 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires California Automobile Museum to report its energy use?
California Automobile Museum 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:27391202:2022).
