How has Geraldine Johnson's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 6 California disclosures for Geraldine Johnson, covering report years 2019–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score was 77 in both 2019 and 2024. Site EUI moved from 26.5 kBtu/ft² (2019) to 25.9 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 2% decrease. Reported emissions went from 90 tCO₂e to 86 tCO₂e over the same span (down 4%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 77 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 77 means the building performs better than about 77% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 77 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. Geraldine Johnson's 25.9 kBtu/ft² across 54,844 sq ft works out to about 1.4 billion Btu (416 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 223,956 kWh of electricity and 6,727 therms of natural gas for the year.
