Frequently asked questions

Which large San José buildings have the worst energy grades?

1310 Ridder Park Dr reports the lowest ENERGY STAR score (1) among San José buildings over 50,000 sq ft. San José's BPO requires buildings over 20,000 sq ft to benchmark annually and complete beyond-benchmarking performance improvements on a rolling schedule.

Does a low score mean the building breaks the law?

No. A low ENERGY STAR score is a national efficiency percentile, not a violation. It does correlate with exposure under building-performance standards (carbon caps, retrofit mandates), which is why owners, lenders and retrofit contractors watch these lists.
