What does an ENERGY STAR score of 80 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 80 means the building performs better than about 80% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 80 falls in band B — above median (70–84). 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. 2460 De La Cruz - El Camino Self Storage's 5.7 kBtu/ft² across 78,370 sq ft works out to about 0.4 billion Btu (131 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 126,075 kWh of electricity and 190 therms of natural gas for the year.

Which law requires 2460 De La Cruz - El Camino Self Storage to report its energy use?

2460 De La Cruz - El Camino Self Storage reports under AB 802 (Public Resources Code §25402.10), the legal basis of California's Building Energy Benchmarking Program (statewide), which publishes each covered building's annual benchmarking results.
