How has 8718-San Joes-Santa Clara's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 7 California disclosures for 8718-San Joes-Santa Clara, covering report years 2018–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score was 93 in both 2018 and 2024. Site EUI moved from 31.8 kBtu/ft² (2018) to 30.2 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 5% decrease. Reported emissions went from 104 tCO₂e to 102 tCO₂e over the same span (down 2%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 93 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 93 means the building performs better than about 93% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 93 falls in band A — high performer (85–100). 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 California, 65% 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. 8718-San Joes-Santa Clara's 30.2 kBtu/ft² across 54,439 sq ft works out to about 1.6 billion Btu (482 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 308,143 kWh of electricity and 6,090 therms of natural gas for the year.
