How has Magnolia Villas's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 California disclosures for Magnolia Villas, covering report years 2022–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score was 100 in both 2022 and 2024. Site EUI moved from 22.1 kBtu/ft² (2022) to 21.6 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 2% decrease. Reported emissions went from 88 tCO₂e to 93 tCO₂e over the same span (up 6%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 100 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: 100 is the top of the scale. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 100 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. Magnolia Villas's 21.6 kBtu/ft² across 73,299 sq ft works out to about 1.6 billion Btu (464 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 110,295 kWh of electricity for the year.
Which law requires Magnolia Villas to report its energy use?
Magnolia Villas reports under AB 802 (Public Resources Code §25402.10), the legal basis of California's Building Energy Benchmarking Program (statewide), which publishes each covered building's annual benchmarking results.
