How does House Of Furniture compare with other retail store buildings in California?
The latest disclosures cover 1,742 retail store buildings in California, out of 40,029 buildings citywide. House Of Furniture's ENERGY STAR score of 100 compares with an average of 76 across the 1,305 that report a score; it scores higher than 83% of them. Its site EUI of 4.9 kBtu/ft² is about 91% below the average of 53.2 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 0.3 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 89% below the group average of 3.3 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 65,000 sq ft, it is about half of the average floor area of 124,053 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 2000, 9 years later than the group's average year built (1991). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 3,025 retail store buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 73 and a site EUI of 57.7 kBtu/ft².
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 100 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: 100 is the top of the scale. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 100 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. House Of Furniture's 4.9 kBtu/ft² across 65,000 sq ft works out to about 0.3 billion Btu (93 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 99,116 kWh of electricity for the year.
Which law requires House Of Furniture to report its energy use?
House Of Furniture 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:57546794:2024).
