How does Taj Mahal Medical Center compare with other medical office buildings in California?
The latest disclosures cover 602 medical office buildings in California, out of 40,029 buildings citywide. Taj Mahal Medical Center's ENERGY STAR score of 80 compares with an average of 63 across the 546 that report a score; it scores higher than 58% of them and lower than 40%. Its site EUI of 42.6 kBtu/ft² is about half of the average of 94.3 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 3.0 kgCO₂e/ft² is about half of the group average of 5.6 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 83,923 sq ft, it is about 17% below the average floor area of 100,847 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1964, 27 years earlier than the group's average year built (1991). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 1,266 medical office buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 64 and a site EUI of 92.2 kBtu/ft².
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 80 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 80 means the building performs better than about 80% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 80 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. Taj Mahal Medical Center's 42.6 kBtu/ft² across 83,923 sq ft works out to about 3.6 billion Btu (1,048 MWh-equivalent) in 2018. The disclosure also reports 1,055,545 kWh of electricity for the year.
Which law requires Taj Mahal Medical Center to report its energy use?
Taj Mahal Medical Center 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:3625235:2018). 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.
