How has Crestwood Whittier's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 6 California disclosures for Crestwood Whittier, covering report years 2019–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 79 in 2019 to 75 in 2024 (-4 points); its best year on file was 2023, at 99. Site EUI moved from 30.7 kBtu/ft² (2019) to 32.5 kBtu/ft² (2024), an 6% increase. Reported emissions went from 217 tCO₂e to 218 tCO₂e over the same span (up 0%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 75 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 75 means the building performs better than about 75% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 75 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. Crestwood Whittier's 32.5 kBtu/ft² across 119,790 sq ft works out to about 3.9 billion Btu (1,141 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 394,347 kWh of electricity and 24,186 therms of natural gas for the year.
