South Bay Village's ENERGY STAR score of 100 compares with an average of 76 across the 1,305 that report a score; it scores higher than 83% of them. Its site EUI of 8.2 kBtu/ft² is about 85% below the average of 53.2 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 0.6 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 83% below the group average of 3.3 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 107,856 sq ft, it is about 13% below the average floor area of 124,053 sq ft for those buildings. Its 1994 construction date is close to the group's average year built (1991). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 3,025 retail store buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 73 and a site EUI of 57.7 kBtu/ft².
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 100 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: 100 is the top of the scale. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 100 falls in band A — high performer (85–100). 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. South Bay Village's 8.2 kBtu/ft² across 107,856 sq ft works out to about 0.9 billion Btu (259 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 260,074 kWh of electricity for the year.
Which law requires South Bay Village to report its energy use?
South Bay Village 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:57118093:2024).
