How has 520 Marburg Way's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 7 San José disclosures for 520 Marburg Way, covering report years 2018–2024. Site EUI moved from 11.6 kBtu/ft² (2019) to 13.1 kBtu/ft² (2024), an 13% increase. Reported emissions went from 73 tCO₂e to 91 tCO₂e over the same span (up 23%).
What does a site EUI of 13.1 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. 520 Marburg Way's 13.1 kBtu/ft² across 105,000 sq ft works out to about 1.4 billion Btu (403 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 35.6 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 383,618 kWh of electricity, 700 therms of natural gas and 887 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires 520 Marburg Way to report its energy use?
