How has Arbor Villas Apartments's energy performance changed over time?

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 100 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: 100 is the top of the scale. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 100 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. Arbor Villas Apartments's 15.5 kBtu/ft² across 139,626 sq ft works out to about 2.2 billion Btu (634 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 432,387 kWh of electricity and 6,904 therms of natural gas for the year.
