Its site EUI of 39.2 kBtu/ft² is about 28% below the average of 54.4 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group.
At 220,419 sq ft, it is about 68% above the average floor area of 130,949 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1986, 5 years earlier than the group's average year built (1991). 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.
How has Pacific Center 2's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 2 San Diego disclosures for Pacific Center 2, covering report years 2021–2022. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 81 in 2021 to 75 in 2022 (-6 points); its best year on file was 2021, at 81. Site EUI moved from 33.6 kBtu/ft² (2021) to 39.2 kBtu/ft² (2022), an 17% increase.
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 75 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 75 means the building performs better than about 75% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 75 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 San Diego, 73% 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. Pacific Center 2's 39.2 kBtu/ft² across 220,419 sq ft works out to about 8.6 billion Btu (2,532 MWh-equivalent) in 2022.
Which law requires Pacific Center 2 to report its energy use?
Pacific Center 2 reports under the Building Energy Benchmarking Ordinance (SDMC Ch. 14 Art. 12), the legal basis of San Diego's Building Energy Benchmarking program, which publishes each covered building's annual benchmarking results. The record shown here is the report-year 2022 disclosure (source record san_diego:100977:2022).
