How has Marina Cove's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 6 California disclosures for Marina Cove, covering report years 2019–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score was 100 in both 2019 and 2024. Site EUI moved from 29.9 kBtu/ft² (2019) to 34.7 kBtu/ft² (2024), an 16% increase. Reported emissions went from 261 tCO₂e to 323 tCO₂e over the same span (up 24%).
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. Marina Cove's 34.7 kBtu/ft² across 158,482 sq ft works out to about 5.5 billion Btu (1,612 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 689,158 kWh of electricity and 31,362 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Marina Cove to report its energy use?
