How has Landau Economics's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 6 California disclosures for Landau Economics, covering report years 2019–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 51 in 2019 to 74 in 2024 (+23 points); its best year on file was 2020, at 97. Site EUI moved from 91.4 kBtu/ft² (2019) to 37.6 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 59% decrease. Reported emissions went from 301 tCO₂e to 127 tCO₂e over the same span (down 58%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 74 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 74 means the building performs better than about 74% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 74 falls in band B — above median (70–84). It sits 1 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. Landau Economics's 37.6 kBtu/ft² across 50,836 sq ft works out to about 1.9 billion Btu (560 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 560,859 kWh of electricity for the year.
Which law requires Landau Economics to report its energy use?
Landau Economics 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:9492512:2024). 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.
