How has SDMA's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 2 San Diego disclosures for SDMA, covering report years 2021–2022. Only one of those years carries energy figures.
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 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. SDMA's 18.4 kBtu/ft² across 76,822 sq ft works out to about 1.4 billion Btu (414 MWh-equivalent) in 2022.
Which law requires SDMA to report its energy use?
SDMA 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:100544:2022). San Diego's ordinance requires annual benchmarking for commercial buildings over 50,000 sq ft, with civil penalties for buildings that fail to report.
