The Meadows's ENERGY STAR score of 85 compares with an average of 82 across the 9,612 that report a score; it scores higher than 38% of them and lower than 60%. Its site EUI of 30.7 kBtu/ft² is about 11% below the average of 34.4 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 1.9 kgCO₂e/ft² is roughly in line with the group average of 2.1 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 98,011 sq ft, it is about 35% below the average floor area of 150,919 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1972, 16 years earlier than the group's average year built (1988). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 59,945 multifamily housing buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 70 and a site EUI of 59.0 kBtu/ft².
How has The Meadows's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 5 California disclosures for The Meadows, covering report years 2019, 2020, 2021, 2023, 2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 82 in 2019 to 85 in 2024 (+3 points); its best year on file was 2021, at 100. Site EUI moved from 29.9 kBtu/ft² (2019) to 30.7 kBtu/ft² (2024), an 3% increase. Reported emissions went from 163 tCO₂e to 186 tCO₂e over the same span (up 14%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 85 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 85 means the building performs better than about 85% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 85 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. The Meadows's 30.7 kBtu/ft² across 98,011 sq ft works out to about 3 billion Btu (882 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 452,861 kWh of electricity and 15,665 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires The Meadows to report its energy use?
The Meadows 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:6894286:2024).
