How has Herrera Es's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 2 California disclosures for Herrera Es, covering report years 2023–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 80 in 2023 to 91 in 2024 (+11 points). Reported emissions went from 199 tCO₂e to 138 tCO₂e over the same span (down 30%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 91 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 91 means the building performs better than about 91% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 91 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. Herrera Es's 35.3 kBtu/ft² across 85,242 sq ft works out to about 3 billion Btu (882 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 387,071 kWh of electricity and 9,541 therms of natural gas for the year.
