How has Cypress Gardens's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 5 California disclosures for Cypress Gardens, covering report years 2019, 2020, 2021, 2023, 2024. Its ENERGY STAR score was 39 in both 2019 and 2024.

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 39 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 39 means the building performs better than about 39% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 39 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 36 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. Cypress Gardens's 53.2 kBtu/ft² across 72,486 sq ft works out to about 3.9 billion Btu (1,130 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 650,030 kWh of electricity for the year.
Which law requires Cypress Gardens to report its energy use?
