How has Linda Vista's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 California disclosures for Linda Vista, covering report years 2022–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 29 in 2022 to 93 in 2024 (+64 points). Site EUI moved from 34.5 kBtu/ft² (2022) to 24.7 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 28% decrease. Reported emissions went from 127 tCO₂e to 86 tCO₂e over the same span (down 32%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 93 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 93 means the building performs better than about 93% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 93 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. Linda Vista's 24.7 kBtu/ft² across 59,199 sq ft works out to about 1.5 billion Btu (429 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 148,534 kWh of electricity for the year.
Which law requires Linda Vista to report its energy use?
Linda Vista 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:6863516:2024).
