What does an ENERGY STAR score of 42 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 42 means the building performs better than about 42% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 42 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 33 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. 00387 Ob1 - 711 G Street (Benchmarking Ref No.: Ca042428)'s 83.8 kBtu/ft² across 60,068 sq ft works out to about 5 billion Btu (1,475 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 904,830 kWh of electricity and 19,403 therms of natural gas for the year.
