Its site EUI of 64.6 kBtu/ft² is about 15% above the average of 56.4 kBtu/ft² — it uses more energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 3.8 kgCO₂e/ft² is roughly in line with the group average of 3.6 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 102,199 sq ft, it is about 33% below the average floor area of 151,937 sq ft for those buildings. Its 1984 construction date is close to the group's average year built (1985).

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 70 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 70 means the building performs better than about 70% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 70 falls in band B — above median (70–84). It sits 5 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. 3480 Buskirk Ave's 64.6 kBtu/ft² across 102,199 sq ft works out to about 6.6 billion Btu (1,935 MWh-equivalent) in 2019. The disclosure also reports 1,026,545 kWh of electricity and 28,957 therms of natural gas for the year.
