How has Nuevo Amanecer - Total's energy performance changed over time?

BuildingCensus holds 4 California disclosures for Nuevo Amanecer - Total, covering report years 2020–2023. Its ENERGY STAR score was 100 in both 2020 and 2023. Site EUI moved from 21.8 kBtu/ft² (2020) to 20.6 kBtu/ft² (2023), a 6% decrease. Reported emissions went from 127 tCO₂e to 125 tCO₂e over the same span (down 2%).

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. Nuevo Amanecer - Total's 20.6 kBtu/ft² across 97,686 sq ft works out to about 2 billion Btu (590 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. The disclosure also reports 292,511 kWh of electricity and 10,104 therms of natural gas for the year.
