How has University Commerce Center #5's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 7 California disclosures for University Commerce Center #5, covering report years 2018–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 87 in 2019 to 84 in 2024 (-3 points); its best year on file was 2020, at 90. Site EUI moved from 5.4 kBtu/ft² (2018) to 6.0 kBtu/ft² (2024), an 11% increase. Reported emissions went from 54 tCO₂e to 57 tCO₂e over the same span (up 4%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 84 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 84 means the building performs better than about 84% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 84 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. University Commerce Center #5's 6.0 kBtu/ft² across 142,680 sq ft works out to about 0.9 billion Btu (251 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 238,176 kWh of electricity and 500 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires University Commerce Center #5 to report its energy use?
