Its site EUI of 108.6 kBtu/ft² is about 51% above the average of 71.8 kBtu/ft² — it uses more energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 7.2 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 57% above the group average of 4.6 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 51,483 sq ft, it is about 73% below the average floor area of 189,524 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1968, 23 years earlier than the group's average year built (1991). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 472 refrigerated warehouse buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 52 and a site EUI of 76.3 kBtu/ft².
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 8 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 8 means the building performs better than about 8% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 8 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 67 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. Chang Lai Llc's 108.6 kBtu/ft² across 51,483 sq ft works out to about 5.6 billion Btu (1,639 MWh-equivalent) in 2020. The disclosure also reports 1,619,351 kWh of electricity and 545 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Chang Lai Llc to report its energy use?
Chang Lai Llc 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 2020 disclosure (source record california:15860244:2020).
