How has Hix Yosemite's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 2 California disclosures for Hix Yosemite, covering report years 2022, 2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 97 in 2022 to 98 in 2024 (+1 points). Site EUI moved from 24.3 kBtu/ft² (2022) to 23.6 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 3% decrease. Reported emissions went from 129 tCO₂e to 125 tCO₂e over the same span (down 3%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 98 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 98 means the building performs better than about 98% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 98 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. Hix Yosemite's 23.6 kBtu/ft² across 60,191 sq ft works out to about 1.4 billion Btu (416 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 416,504 kWh of electricity for the year.
