How has Jci Gardens's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 6 California disclosures for Jci Gardens, covering report years 2019–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 83 in 2019 to 94 in 2024 (+11 points).

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 94 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 94 means the building performs better than about 94% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 94 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. Jci Gardens's 19.1 kBtu/ft² across 88,203 sq ft works out to about 1.7 billion Btu (494 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 337,904 kWh of electricity and 5,292 therms of natural gas for the year.
