How has 11381-Sun Valley's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 7 California disclosures for 11381-Sun Valley, covering report years 2018–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 87 in 2018 to 94 in 2024 (+7 points).

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 94 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 94 means the building performs better than about 94% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 94 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. 11381-Sun Valley's 25.7 kBtu/ft² across 87,287 sq ft works out to about 2.2 billion Btu (657 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 616,780 kWh of electricity for the year.
