How has Americana La Crescenta's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 6 California disclosures for Americana La Crescenta, covering report years 2019–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 97 in 2019 to 98 in 2024 (+1 points).

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 98 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 98 means the building performs better than about 98% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 98 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. Americana La Crescenta's 24.2 kBtu/ft² across 82,328 sq ft works out to about 2 billion Btu (584 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 571,874 kWh of electricity and 452 therms of natural gas for the year.
