How has Village Square's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 California disclosures for Village Square, covering report years 2019–2021. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 99 in 2019 to 100 in 2021 (+1 points). Site EUI moved from 29.2 kBtu/ft² (2019) to 16.8 kBtu/ft² (2021), a 42% decrease. Reported emissions went from 113 tCO₂e to 63 tCO₂e over the same span (down 44%).
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. Village Square's 16.8 kBtu/ft² across 66,500 sq ft works out to about 1.1 billion Btu (327 MWh-equivalent) in 2021. The disclosure also reports 143,135 kWh of electricity and 6,263 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Village Square to report its energy use?
