How does National University compare with other adult education buildings in California?
The latest disclosures cover 17 adult education buildings in California, out of 40,029 buildings citywide. Its site EUI of 52.0 kBtu/ft² is about 33% above the average of 39.2 kBtu/ft² — it uses more energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 2.9 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 32% above the group average of 2.2 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 82,500 sq ft, it is about 14% below the average floor area of 96,007 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1978, 14 years earlier than the group's average year built (1992).
What does a site EUI of 52.0 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. National University's 52.0 kBtu/ft² across 82,500 sq ft works out to about 4.3 billion Btu (1,257 MWh-equivalent) in 2020. The disclosure also reports 530,088 kWh of electricity and 22,259 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires National University to report its energy use?
National University 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 2020 disclosure (source record california:16057158:2020). 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.
