What does an ENERGY STAR score of 77 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 77 means the building performs better than about 77% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 77 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. 6590 Darin Way (Cypress Land)'s 5.5 kBtu/ft² across 63,016 sq ft works out to about 0.3 billion Btu (102 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 97,866 kWh of electricity and 218 therms of natural gas for the year.

Which law requires 6590 Darin Way (Cypress Land) to report its energy use?

6590 Darin Way (Cypress Land) 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.
