The Universal Church-Wilshire's ENERGY STAR score of 89 compares with an average of 75 across the 4,912 that report a score; it scores higher than 61% of them and lower than 36%. Its site EUI of 22.9 kBtu/ft² is about 59% below the average of 56.4 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 1.5 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 58% below the group average of 3.6 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 61,703 sq ft, it is about 59% below the average floor area of 151,937 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 2013, 28 years later than the group's average year built (1985). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 15,264 office buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 73 and a site EUI of 59.3 kBtu/ft².
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 89 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 89 means the building performs better than about 89% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 89 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. The Universal Church-Wilshire's 22.9 kBtu/ft² across 61,703 sq ft works out to about 1.4 billion Btu (414 MWh-equivalent) in 2018. The disclosure also reports 333,586 kWh of electricity and 2,687 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires The Universal Church-Wilshire to report its energy use?
