How does Jet Propulsion Laboratory-1049/55/89-171-Material Services compare with other other buildings in California?

The latest disclosures cover 773 other buildings in California, out of 40,029 buildings citywide. Its site EUI of 54.8 kBtu/ft² is roughly in line with the average of 58.3 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 3.8 kgCO₂e/ft² is roughly in line with the group average of 3.5 kgCO₂e/ft².

At 74,028 sq ft, it is about 86% below the average floor area of 511,890 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1967, 6 years earlier than the group's average year built (1973). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 1,327 other buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 60 and a site EUI of 63.3 kBtu/ft².

What does a site EUI of 54.8 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. Jet Propulsion Laboratory-1049/55/89-171-Material Services's 54.8 kBtu/ft² across 74,028 sq ft works out to about 4.1 billion Btu (1,189 MWh-equivalent) in 2022. The disclosure also reports 1,188,926 kWh of electricity for the year.

Which law requires Jet Propulsion Laboratory-1049/55/89-171-Material Services to report its energy use?

Jet Propulsion Laboratory-1049/55/89-171-Material Services 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 2022 disclosure (source record california:2926826:2022). 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.
