Its ENERGY STAR score went from 88 in 2018 to 100 in 2024 (+12 points); its best year on file was 2023, at 100. Site EUI moved from 50.0 kBtu/ft² (2018) to 18.2 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 64% decrease.

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 100 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: 100 is the top of the scale. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 100 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. 4790 Eastgate's 18.2 kBtu/ft² across 60,900 sq ft works out to about 1.1 billion Btu (325 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 122,373 kWh of electricity for the year.
