How does Cedar/ Nettleton compare with other multifamily housing buildings in California?
The latest disclosures cover 10,630 multifamily housing buildings in California, out of 40,029 buildings citywide. Cedar/ Nettleton's ENERGY STAR score of 66 compares with an average of 82 across the 9,612 that report a score; it scores higher than 18% of them and lower than 81%. Its site EUI of 47.9 kBtu/ft² is about 39% above the average of 34.4 kBtu/ft² — it uses more energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 2.8 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 33% above the group average of 2.1 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 71,790 sq ft, it is about half of the average floor area of 150,919 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1996, 8 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 66 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 66 means the building performs better than about 66% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 66 falls in band C — below median (55–69). It sits 9 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. Cedar/ Nettleton's 47.9 kBtu/ft² across 71,790 sq ft works out to about 3.4 billion Btu (1,008 MWh-equivalent) in 2020. The disclosure also reports 504,133 kWh of electricity and 16,810 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Cedar/ Nettleton to report its energy use?
