How has 2151 Bering Dr's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 6 San José disclosures for 2151 Bering Dr, covering report years 2019–2024. Site EUI moved from 6.4 kBtu/ft² (2019) to 5.9 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 8% decrease. Reported emissions went from 3 tCO₂e to 8 tCO₂e over the same span (up 148%).
What does a site EUI of 5.9 kBtu/ft² mean?
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. 2151 Bering Dr's 5.9 kBtu/ft² across 21,102 sq ft works out to about 0.1 billion Btu (36 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 13.0 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 23,953 kWh of electricity, 424 therms of natural gas and 127 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires 2151 Bering Dr to report its energy use?
2151 Bering Dr reports under San José Municipal Code Ch. 17.85 (Energy and Water Building Performance Ordinance), the legal basis of San José's Energy and Water Building Performance Ordinance, which publishes each covered building's annual benchmarking results. The record shown here is the report-year 2024 disclosure (source record san_jose:0529-0-00:2024). San José's BPO requires buildings over 20,000 sq ft to benchmark annually and complete beyond-benchmarking performance improvements on a rolling schedule.
