Performance Ledyard

How does Performance Ledyard 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. Performance Ledyard's ENERGY STAR score of 51 compares with an average of 67 across the 2,485 that report a score; it scores higher than 27% of them and lower than 72%. Its site EUI of 59.9 kBtu/ft² is about 203% above the average of 19.8 kBtu/ft² — it uses more energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 3.9 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 197% above the group average of 1.3 kgCO₂e/ft².

At 198,469 sq ft, it is about 17% below the average floor area of 238,298 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 2000, 6 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.

How has Performance Ledyard's energy performance changed over time?

BuildingCensus holds 3 California disclosures for Performance Ledyard, covering report years 2018, 2023, 2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 34 in 2018 to 51 in 2024 (+17 points); its best year on file was 2023, at 58. Site EUI moved from 78.3 kBtu/ft² (2018) to 59.9 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 23% decrease. Reported emissions went from 545 tCO₂e to 766 tCO₂e over the same span (up 41%).

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 51 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 51 means the building performs better than about 51% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 51 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 24 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. Performance Ledyard's 59.9 kBtu/ft² across 198,469 sq ft works out to about 11.9 billion Btu (3,484 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 3,005,881 kWh of electricity and 16,140 therms of natural gas for the year.

Which law requires Performance Ledyard to report its energy use?

Performance Ledyard 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:6405284:2024). 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.
