How has Meadowlark Plaza 2024's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 California disclosures for Meadowlark Plaza 2024, covering report years 2022–2024. Site EUI moved from 11.9 kBtu/ft² (2022) to 13.5 kBtu/ft² (2024), an 13% increase. Reported emissions went from 65 tCO₂e to 78 tCO₂e over the same span (up 19%).
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. Meadowlark Plaza 2024's 13.5 kBtu/ft² across 86,952 sq ft works out to about 1.2 billion Btu (344 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 343,946 kWh of electricity for the year.
