How has The Palms Apartments's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 5 California disclosures for The Palms Apartments, covering report years 2020–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 81 in 2020 to 92 in 2024 (+11 points).

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 92 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 92 means the building performs better than about 92% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 92 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 Palms Apartments's 36.8 kBtu/ft² across 338,000 sq ft works out to about 12.4 billion Btu (3,645 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 1,290,691 kWh of electricity and 80,923 therms of natural gas for the year.
