Camden Hillcrest's ENERGY STAR score of 51 compares with an average of 82 across the 9,612 that report a score; it scores higher than 10% of them and lower than 89%. Its site EUI of 28.2 kBtu/ft² is about 18% below the average of 34.4 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 1.7 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 19% below the group average of 2.1 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 201,795 sq ft, it is about 34% above the average floor area of 150,919 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 2021, 33 years later than the group's average year built (1988). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 59,945 multifamily housing buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 70 and a site EUI of 59.0 kBtu/ft².
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 51 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 51 means the building performs better than about 51% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 51 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 24 points below 75, the threshold for ENERGY STAR certification. 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. Camden Hillcrest's 28.2 kBtu/ft² across 201,795 sq ft works out to about 5.7 billion Btu (1,668 MWh-equivalent) in 2022. The disclosure also reports 777,040 kWh of electricity and 31,511 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Camden Hillcrest to report its energy use?
