How has Wateridge I's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 5 California disclosures for Wateridge I, covering report years 2018, 2019, 2021, 2022, 2023. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 85 in 2018 to 89 in 2023 (+4 points). Site EUI moved from 67.2 kBtu/ft² (2018) to 50.2 kBtu/ft² (2023), a 25% decrease. Reported emissions went from 825 tCO₂e to 649 tCO₂e over the same span (down 21%).
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. Wateridge I's 50.2 kBtu/ft² across 185,496 sq ft works out to about 9.3 billion Btu (2,729 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. The disclosure also reports 2,488,487 kWh of electricity and 8,814 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Wateridge I to report its energy use?
Wateridge I 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 2023 disclosure (source record california:1451135:2023).
