How does Downey compare with other vehicle dealership buildings in California?
The latest disclosures cover 141 vehicle dealership buildings in California, out of 40,029 buildings citywide. Downey's ENERGY STAR score of 99 compares with an average of 68 across the 122 that report a score; it scores higher than 84% of them and lower than 8%. Its site EUI of 16.2 kBtu/ft² is about 67% below the average of 49.6 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 1.1 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 66% below the group average of 3.2 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 8,651 sq ft, it is about 90% below the average floor area of 89,700 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1991, 9 years later than the group's average year built (1982). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 318 vehicle dealership buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 57 and a site EUI of 62.8 kBtu/ft².
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 99 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 99 means the building performs better than about 99% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 99 falls in band A — high performer (85–100). 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. Downey's 16.2 kBtu/ft² across 8,651 sq ft works out to about 0.1 billion Btu (41 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. The disclosure also reports 40,950 kWh of electricity for the year.
Which law requires Downey to report its energy use?
Downey 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 2023 disclosure (source record california:36127722:2023). AB 802 requires every California commercial building over 50,000 sq ft to report energy use to the CEC annually; the CEC publicly discloses the results statewide.
