Renew Berryessa's ENERGY STAR score of 84 compares with an average of 82 across the 9,612 that report a score; it scores higher than 37% of them and lower than 62%. Its site EUI of 47.1 kBtu/ft² is about 37% above the average of 34.4 kBtu/ft² — it uses more energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 2.6 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 24% above the group average of 2.1 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 154,152 sq ft, it is roughly in line with the average floor area of 150,919 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1973, 15 years earlier than the group's average year built (1988).

How has Renew Berryessa's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 6 California disclosures for Renew Berryessa, covering report years 2019–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 49 in 2019 to 84 in 2024 (+35 points); its best year on file was 2022, at 100. Site EUI moved from 55.7 kBtu/ft² (2019) to 47.1 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 15% decrease. Reported emissions went from 499 tCO₂e to 402 tCO₂e over the same span (down 19%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 84 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 84 means the building performs better than about 84% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 84 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. Renew Berryessa's 47.1 kBtu/ft² across 154,152 sq ft works out to about 7.3 billion Btu (2,128 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 570,829 kWh of electricity for the year.
Which law requires Renew Berryessa to report its energy use?
Renew Berryessa 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:4463010:2024).
