How has San Pedro Municipal Building's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 7 California disclosures for San Pedro Municipal Building, covering report years 2018–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 87 in 2018 to 75 in 2024 (-12 points); its best year on file was 2019, at 88. Site EUI moved from 38.4 kBtu/ft² (2018) to 52.3 kBtu/ft² (2024), an 36% increase. Reported emissions went from 235 tCO₂e to 303 tCO₂e over the same span (up 29%).
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. San Pedro Municipal Building's 52.3 kBtu/ft² across 92,920 sq ft works out to about 4.9 billion Btu (1,424 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 1,006,935 kWh of electricity for the year.
Which law requires San Pedro Municipal Building to report its energy use?
