How has Nellie Coffman Ms's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 7 California disclosures for Nellie Coffman Ms, covering report years 2018–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 99 in 2018 to 90 in 2024 (-9 points); its best year on file was 2020, at 100. Site EUI moved from 45.9 kBtu/ft² (2018) to 55.1 kBtu/ft² (2024), an 20% increase. Reported emissions went from 108 tCO₂e to 194 tCO₂e over the same span (up 81%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 90 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 90 means the building performs better than about 90% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 90 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. Nellie Coffman Ms's 55.1 kBtu/ft² across 107,368 sq ft works out to about 5.9 billion Btu (1,734 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 630,372 kWh of electricity and 9,700 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Nellie Coffman Ms to report its energy use?
Nellie Coffman Ms 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:6877950:2024).
