What does an ENERGY STAR score of 37 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 37 means the building performs better than about 37% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 37 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 38 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. 2094 Forest Ave's 38.7 kBtu/ft² across 50,000 sq ft works out to about 1.9 billion Btu (567 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. The disclosure also reports 364,373 kWh of electricity and 7,398 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires 2094 Forest Ave to report its energy use?
