What does an ENERGY STAR score of 44 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 44 means the building performs better than about 44% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 44 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 31 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. Adm/Glc 410484/15545 Sand Canyon-Bldg B/Irvine/Ca's 103.0 kBtu/ft² across 80,984 sq ft works out to about 8.3 billion Btu (2,445 MWh-equivalent) in 2018. The disclosure also reports 1,713,371 kWh of electricity and 25,513 therms of natural gas for the year.
