How does Pr Iii 255 California Llc compare with other office buildings in California?
The latest disclosures cover 6,214 office buildings in California, out of 40,029 buildings citywide. Pr Iii 255 California Llc's ENERGY STAR score of 75 compares with an average of 75 across the 4,912 that report a score; it scores higher than 35% of them and lower than 64%. Its site EUI of 56.0 kBtu/ft² is roughly in line with the average of 56.4 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 3.9 kgCO₂e/ft² is roughly in line with the group average of 3.6 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 188,636 sq ft, it is about 24% above the average floor area of 151,937 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1959, 26 years earlier than the group's average year built (1985). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 15,264 office buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 73 and a site EUI of 59.3 kBtu/ft².
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 75 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 75 means the building performs better than about 75% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 75 falls in band B — above median (70–84). 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. Pr Iii 255 California Llc's 56.0 kBtu/ft² across 188,636 sq ft works out to about 10.6 billion Btu (3,096 MWh-equivalent) in 2018. The disclosure also reports 2,216,367 kWh of electricity for the year.
Which law requires Pr Iii 255 California Llc to report its energy use?
Pr Iii 255 California Llc 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 2018 disclosure (source record california:2546284:2018).
