How has Norden Terrace's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 4 California disclosures for Norden Terrace, covering report years 2021–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 90 in 2022 to 95 in 2024 (+5 points). Site EUI moved from 36.4 kBtu/ft² (2022) to 38.3 kBtu/ft² (2024), an 5% increase. Reported emissions went from 474 tCO₂e to 496 tCO₂e over the same span (up 5%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 95 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 95 means the building performs better than about 95% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 95 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. Norden Terrace's 38.3 kBtu/ft² across 217,380 sq ft works out to about 8.3 billion Btu (2,440 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 1,018,618 kWh of electricity and 49,896 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Norden Terrace to report its energy use?
