Its site EUI of 13.7 kBtu/ft² is about 31% below the average of 19.8 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 0.9 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 30% below the group average of 1.3 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 64,942 sq ft, it is about 73% below the average floor area of 238,298 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1999, 5 years later than the group's average year built (1994).

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. 7920 Airway Road's 13.7 kBtu/ft² across 64,942 sq ft works out to about 0.9 billion Btu (261 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 260,407 kWh of electricity for the year.
