How does Scripps Summit compare with other laboratory buildings in California?
The latest disclosures cover 308 laboratory buildings in California, out of 40,029 buildings citywide. Its site EUI of 15.5 kBtu/ft² is about 91% below the average of 181.8 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 91% below the group average of 11.1 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 188,399 sq ft, it is about 55% above the average floor area of 121,485 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1999, 7 years later than the group's average year built (1992). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 795 laboratory buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 29 and a site EUI of 231.7 kBtu/ft².
What does a site EUI of 15.5 kBtu/ft² mean?
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. Scripps Summit's 15.5 kBtu/ft² across 188,399 sq ft works out to about 2.9 billion Btu (856 MWh-equivalent) in 2020. The disclosure also reports 709,217 kWh of electricity and 5,089 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Scripps Summit to report its energy use?
Scripps Summit 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:8715263:2020). 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.
