How has Menlo Family Housing's energy performance changed over time?

Its ENERGY STAR score went from 69 in 2019 to 100 in 2024 (+31 points); its best year on file was 2022, at 100. Site EUI moved from 35.2 kBtu/ft² (2019) to 34.9 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 1% decrease. Reported emissions went from 157 tCO₂e to 131 tCO₂e over the same span (down 17%).
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. Menlo Family Housing's 34.9 kBtu/ft² across 62,327 sq ft works out to about 2.2 billion Btu (637 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 312,130 kWh of electricity for the year.
Which law requires Menlo Family Housing to report its energy use?
Menlo Family Housing 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. The record shown here is the report-year 2024 disclosure (source record california:6277354:2024).
