How has Dorothy Day Community's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 6 California disclosures for Dorothy Day Community, covering report years 2019–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 92 in 2019 to 89 in 2024 (-3 points); its best year on file was 2019, at 92. Site EUI moved from 40.4 kBtu/ft² (2019) to 44.2 kBtu/ft² (2024), an 9% increase. Reported emissions went from 179 tCO₂e to 192 tCO₂e over the same span (up 7%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 89 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 89 means the building performs better than about 89% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 89 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. Dorothy Day Community's 44.2 kBtu/ft² across 74,963 sq ft works out to about 3.3 billion Btu (971 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 306,574 kWh of electricity and 23,018 therms of natural gas for the year.
