How has Museum Terrace's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 6 California disclosures for Museum Terrace, covering report years 2019–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 83 in 2019 to 79 in 2024 (-4 points); its best year on file was 2019, at 83. Site EUI moved from 38.4 kBtu/ft² (2019) to 39.4 kBtu/ft² (2024), an 3% increase. Reported emissions went from 450 tCO₂e to 467 tCO₂e over the same span (up 4%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 79 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 79 means the building performs better than about 79% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 79 falls in band B — above median (70–84). 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. Museum Terrace's 39.4 kBtu/ft² across 192,500 sq ft works out to about 7.6 billion Btu (2,223 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 1,302,244 kWh of electricity for the year.
Which law requires Museum Terrace to report its energy use?
