How does Durand Building compare with other laboratory buildings in California?
The latest disclosures cover 308 laboratory buildings in California, out of 40,029 buildings citywide. Its site EUI of 74.1 kBtu/ft² is about 59% below the average of 181.8 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 4.9 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 56% below the group average of 11.1 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 116,974 sq ft, it is roughly in line with the average floor area of 121,485 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1968, 24 years earlier than the group's average year built (1992). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 795 laboratory buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 29 and a site EUI of 231.7 kBtu/ft².
How has Durand Building's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 6 California disclosures for Durand Building, covering report years 2019–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 15 in 2019 to 45 in 2020 (+30 points). Site EUI moved from 185.7 kBtu/ft² (2019) to 74.1 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 60% decrease. Reported emissions went from 1,383 tCO₂e to 576 tCO₂e over the same span (down 58%).
What does a site EUI of 74.1 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. Durand Building's 74.1 kBtu/ft² across 116,974 sq ft works out to about 8.7 billion Btu (2,540 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 2,541,618 kWh of electricity for the year.
Which law requires Durand Building to report its energy use?
Durand Building 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:10924580:2024). 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.
