How has Fine Arts Building's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 5 California disclosures for Fine Arts Building, covering report years 2018, 2020, 2021, 2023, 2024. Site EUI moved from 46.7 kBtu/ft² (2018) to 39.0 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 16% decrease. Reported emissions went from 369 tCO₂e to 276 tCO₂e over the same span (down 25%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 76 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 76 means the building performs better than about 76% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 76 falls in band B — above median (70–84). 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. Fine Arts Building's 39.0 kBtu/ft² across 111,390 sq ft works out to about 4.3 billion Btu (1,273 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 1,030,837 kWh of electricity for the year.
Which law requires Fine Arts Building to report its energy use?
Fine Arts 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:6216306:2024).
