What does an ENERGY STAR score of 67 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 67 means the building performs better than about 67% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 67 falls in band C — below median (55–69). It sits 8 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. 1835 Diesel Drive - Ab802's 6.7 kBtu/ft² across 108,000 sq ft works out to about 0.7 billion Btu (212 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 192,282 kWh of electricity and 733 therms of natural gas for the year.

Which law requires 1835 Diesel Drive - Ab802 to report its energy use?
