How does Redwood Building compare with other office buildings in San Diego?
The latest disclosures cover 356 office buildings in San Diego, out of 2,567 buildings citywide. Redwood Building's ENERGY STAR score of 79 compares with an average of 75 across the 259 that report a score; it scores higher than 38% of them and lower than 60%. Its site EUI of 53.3 kBtu/ft² is roughly in line with the average of 54.4 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group.
At 54,452 sq ft, it is about 58% below the average floor area of 130,949 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1972, 19 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 Redwood Building's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 2 San Diego disclosures for Redwood Building, covering report years 2021–2022. Site EUI moved from 46.7 kBtu/ft² (2021) to 53.3 kBtu/ft² (2022), an 14% increase.
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 79 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 79 means the building performs better than about 79% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 79 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. Redwood Building's 53.3 kBtu/ft² across 54,452 sq ft works out to about 2.9 billion Btu (851 MWh-equivalent) in 2022.
Which law requires Redwood Building to report its energy use?
Redwood Building 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:100147:2022). San Diego's ordinance requires annual benchmarking for commercial buildings over 50,000 sq ft, with civil penalties for buildings that fail to report.
