How has Carrington Apartments's energy performance changed over time?

Its ENERGY STAR score went from 83 in 2019 to 80 in 2024 (-3 points); its best year on file was 2022, at 84. Site EUI moved from 44.8 kBtu/ft² (2019) to 46.1 kBtu/ft² (2024), an 3% increase.

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 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. Carrington Apartments's 46.1 kBtu/ft² across 108,234 sq ft works out to about 5 billion Btu (1,462 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 409,951 kWh of electricity and 34,159 therms of natural gas for the year.
