How has California Community Foundation's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 California disclosures for California Community Foundation, covering report years 2021, 2022, 2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 91 in 2021 to 64 in 2024 (-27 points); its best year on file was 2022, at 93. Site EUI moved from 19.3 kBtu/ft² (2021) to 64.9 kBtu/ft² (2024), an 236% increase. Reported emissions went from 74 tCO₂e to 225 tCO₂e over the same span (up 202%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 64 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 64 means the building performs better than about 64% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 64 falls in band C — below median (55–69). It sits 11 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. California Community Foundation's 64.9 kBtu/ft² across 56,106 sq ft works out to about 3.6 billion Btu (1,067 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 620,643 kWh of electricity for the year.
Which law requires California Community Foundation to report its energy use?
California Community Foundation 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:27565186:2024).
