How has El Cerrito Ms's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 California disclosures for El Cerrito Ms, covering report years 2022–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 69 in 2022 to 78 in 2024 (+9 points). Site EUI moved from 29.3 kBtu/ft² (2022) to 25.0 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 15% decrease. Reported emissions went from 214 tCO₂e to 176 tCO₂e over the same span (down 18%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 78 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 78 means the building performs better than about 78% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 78 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. El Cerrito Ms's 25.0 kBtu/ft² across 104,845 sq ft works out to about 2.6 billion Btu (768 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 686,738 kWh of electricity and 3,917 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires El Cerrito Ms to report its energy use?
