How has Golden Age Village's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 2 California disclosures for Golden Age Village, covering report years 2023–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 88 in 2023 to 96 in 2024 (+8 points). Site EUI moved from 27.7 kBtu/ft² (2023) to 29.4 kBtu/ft² (2024), an 6% increase. Reported emissions went from 165 tCO₂e to 162 tCO₂e over the same span (down 2%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 96 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 96 means the building performs better than about 96% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 96 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. Golden Age Village's 29.4 kBtu/ft² across 94,045 sq ft works out to about 2.8 billion Btu (810 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 375,999 kWh of electricity and 14,378 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Golden Age Village to report its energy use?
