How has Department Of Motor Vehicles (Dmv)'s energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 2 California disclosures for Department Of Motor Vehicles (Dmv), covering report years 2018–2019. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 2 in 2018 to 39 in 2019 (+37 points). Site EUI moved from 46.0 kBtu/ft² (2018) to 17.7 kBtu/ft² (2019), a 62% decrease. Reported emissions went from 214 tCO₂e to 82 tCO₂e over the same span (down 61%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 39 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 39 means the building performs better than about 39% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 39 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 36 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. Department Of Motor Vehicles (Dmv)'s 17.7 kBtu/ft² across 66,029 sq ft works out to about 1.2 billion Btu (343 MWh-equivalent) in 2019. The disclosure also reports 342,626 kWh of electricity for the year.
