How has The Fountains's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 6 California disclosures for The Fountains, covering report years 2019–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 45 in 2019 to 71 in 2024 (+26 points).

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 71 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 71 means the building performs better than about 71% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 71 falls in band B — above median (70–84). It sits 4 points below 75, the threshold for ENERGY STAR certification. 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. The Fountains's 51.6 kBtu/ft² across 56,790 sq ft works out to about 2.9 billion Btu (859 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 272,369 kWh of electricity and 20,153 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires The Fountains to report its energy use?
