How has Casa Nueva's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 2 San Diego disclosures for Casa Nueva, covering report years 2021–2022. Its ENERGY STAR score was 100 in both 2021 and 2022. Site EUI moved from 16.1 kBtu/ft² (2021) to 14.1 kBtu/ft² (2022), a 12% decrease.
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 San Diego, 73% 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. Casa Nueva's 14.1 kBtu/ft² across 72,652 sq ft works out to about 1 billion Btu (300 MWh-equivalent) in 2022.
Which law requires Casa Nueva to report its energy use?
