How has H.N. Genova Real Estate Investment's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 Ann Arbor disclosures for H.N. Genova Real Estate Investment, covering report years 2021–2023. Its ENERGY STAR score was 80 in both 2021 and 2023.

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 80 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 80 means the building performs better than about 80% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 80 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 Ann Arbor, 57% 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. H.N. Genova Real Estate Investment's 37.6 kBtu/ft² across 20,496 sq ft works out to about 0.8 billion Btu (226 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. Its source EUI of 68.7 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 17 thousand gallons of water for the year.
