How has 9620-Irvine/Spectrum/Laguna Beach's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 6 California disclosures for 9620-Irvine/Spectrum/Laguna Beach, covering report years 2018, 2019, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 77 in 2018 to 79 in 2024 (+2 points). Site EUI moved from 41.9 kBtu/ft² (2018) to 31.0 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 26% decrease.

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 79 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 79 means the building performs better than about 79% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 79 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. 9620-Irvine/Spectrum/Laguna Beach's 31.0 kBtu/ft² across 68,453 sq ft works out to about 2.1 billion Btu (622 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 565,664 kWh of electricity and 1,908 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires 9620-Irvine/Spectrum/Laguna Beach to report its energy use?
9620-Irvine/Spectrum/Laguna Beach 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.
