Kubota Tractor Corporation Wdc

How does Kubota Tractor Corporation Wdc compare with other distribution center buildings in California?

The latest disclosures cover 3,121 distribution center buildings in California, out of 40,029 buildings citywide. Kubota Tractor Corporation Wdc's ENERGY STAR score of 83 compares with an average of 67 across the 2,485 that report a score; it scores higher than 55% of them and lower than 44%. Its site EUI of 4.3 kBtu/ft² is about 78% below the average of 19.8 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 0.2 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 82% below the group average of 1.3 kgCO₂e/ft².

At 631,465 sq ft, it is about 165% above the average floor area of 238,298 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 2023, 29 years later than the group's average year built (1994). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 4,082 distribution center buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 65 and a site EUI of 24.2 kBtu/ft².

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 83 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 83 means the building performs better than about 83% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 83 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. Kubota Tractor Corporation Wdc's 4.3 kBtu/ft² across 631,465 sq ft works out to about 2.7 billion Btu (796 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 792,131 kWh of electricity for the year.

Which law requires Kubota Tractor Corporation Wdc to report its energy use?

Kubota Tractor Corporation Wdc 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:56642692:2024). 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.
