Nordahl Medical Centre's ENERGY STAR score of 100 compares with an average of 63 across the 546 that report a score; it scores higher than 85% of them. Its site EUI of 15.3 kBtu/ft² is about 84% below the average of 94.3 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 1.0 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 82% below the group average of 5.6 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 57,333 sq ft, it is about 43% below the average floor area of 100,847 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 2010, 19 years later than the group's average year built (1991). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 1,266 medical office buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 64 and a site EUI of 92.2 kBtu/ft².
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 100 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: 100 is the top of the scale. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 100 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. Nordahl Medical Centre's 15.3 kBtu/ft² across 57,333 sq ft works out to about 0.9 billion Btu (257 MWh-equivalent) in 2020. The disclosure also reports 257,890 kWh of electricity for the year.
Which law requires Nordahl Medical Centre to report its energy use?
Nordahl Medical Centre 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:11009491:2020).
