Assembly Bill 1103 – What is it? AB1103 – What is the trigger?
Requires Energy Use Benchmarking and Disclosure for
Nonresidential Buildings: → Financial transaction for the whole building
Allows prospective buyers and tenants to compare building
performance with similar buildings
Must disclose benchmarking data and ratings to:
Motivates owners to improve building’s energy profile
Compared with competition
Impact on building valuation
Prospective buyer
A benchmarking system, drawing on Lender
Energy Star Portfolio Manager Lessee of entire building
California Building Energy Performance Rating

3. AB1103 – When is it effective? AB1103 – Impact on Building Valuation
Example:
Effective Date
Reduce Annual Energy Cost
Eg: Building Type Jan 1, 2011 Jan 1, 2012 Jul 1, 2012 = Increase Annual Cash Flow: $50,000
Solely Owner
Solely Owner Any size,
Any size Any size,
Any size Any size,
Any size
Occupied >1,000 sf >1,000 sf >1,000 sf Divide by Cap Rate: ÷ .08
Commercial Buildings,
> 50,000 sf > 10,000 sf >1,000 sf Increase in Building Valuation $625,000
All Occupancies
Energy Star is a 12 month “look‐back”
Today’s energy use is part of the January disclosure!

No‐Cost and Low‐Cost Measures
savings > cost of financing measures
Plan: mid & long term capital improvements
Benchmark: continuous monitoring!! Life Cycle Cost (compare complex systems)
