How does Huntington Beach compare with other refrigerated warehouse buildings in California?
The latest disclosures cover 297 refrigerated warehouse buildings in California, out of 40,029 buildings citywide. Huntington Beach's ENERGY STAR score of 5 compares with an average of 54 across the 239 that report a score; it scores higher than 8% of them and lower than 91%. Its site EUI of 75.4 kBtu/ft² is roughly in line with the average of 71.8 kBtu/ft². Its emissions intensity of 5.3 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 16% above the group average of 4.6 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 94,853 sq ft, it is about half of the average floor area of 189,524 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1950, 41 years earlier than the group's average year built (1991). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 472 refrigerated warehouse buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 52 and a site EUI of 76.3 kBtu/ft².
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 5 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 5 means the building performs better than about 5% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 5 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 70 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. Huntington Beach's 75.4 kBtu/ft² across 94,853 sq ft works out to about 7.2 billion Btu (2,096 MWh-equivalent) in 2019. The disclosure also reports 2,089,176 kWh of electricity and 666 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Huntington Beach to report its energy use?
Huntington Beach 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 2019 disclosure (source record california:6742635:2019).
