How has Kp Kargoled's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 2 California disclosures for Kp Kargoled, covering report years 2018–2019. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 100 in 2018 to 91 in 2019 (-9 points); its best year on file was 2018, at 100. Site EUI moved from 2.1 kBtu/ft² (2018) to 7.4 kBtu/ft² (2019), an 252% increase. Reported emissions went from 13 tCO₂e to 41 tCO₂e over the same span (up 228%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 91 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 91 means the building performs better than about 91% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 91 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. Kp Kargoled's 7.4 kBtu/ft² across 83,828 sq ft works out to about 0.6 billion Btu (182 MWh-equivalent) in 2019. The disclosure also reports 182,492 kWh of electricity for the year.
Which law requires Kp Kargoled to report its energy use?
Kp Kargoled 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:6410335:2019).
