How does University Pacific Centre compare with other medical office buildings in California?
The latest disclosures cover 602 medical office buildings in California, out of 40,029 buildings citywide. University Pacific Centre's ENERGY STAR score of 81 compares with an average of 63 across the 546 that report a score; it scores higher than 60% of them and lower than 40%. Its site EUI of 38.3 kBtu/ft² is about 59% below 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 2.6 kgCO₂e/ft² is about half of the group average of 5.6 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 96,670 sq ft, it is roughly in line with the average floor area of 100,847 sq ft for those buildings. Its 1988 construction date is close to 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.
How has University Pacific Centre's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 2 California disclosures for University Pacific Centre, covering report years 2019–2020. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 76 in 2019 to 81 in 2020 (+5 points). Site EUI moved from 40.8 kBtu/ft² (2019) to 38.3 kBtu/ft² (2020), a 6% decrease. Reported emissions went from 259 tCO₂e to 255 tCO₂e over the same span (down 1%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 81 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 81 means the building performs better than about 81% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 81 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 Pacific Centre's 38.3 kBtu/ft² across 96,670 sq ft works out to about 3.7 billion Btu (1,085 MWh-equivalent) in 2020. The disclosure also reports 1,126,795 kWh of electricity for the year.
Which law requires University Pacific Centre to report its energy use?
University Pacific Centre 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:7100481:2020).
