How has Coyote Hill's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 2 California disclosures for Coyote Hill, covering report years 2023–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 78 in 2023 to 100 in 2024 (+22 points). Site EUI moved from 40.2 kBtu/ft² (2023) to 4.7 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 88% decrease. Reported emissions went from 244 tCO₂e to 26 tCO₂e over the same span (down 89%).
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. Coyote Hill's 4.7 kBtu/ft² across 85,420 sq ft works out to about 0.4 billion Btu (118 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 99,936 kWh of electricity and 724 therms of natural gas for the year.
