What does an ENERGY STAR score of 91 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 91 means the building performs better than about 91% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 91 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. Allston & Stadium (Ll040,St386)'s 37.2 kBtu/ft² across 107,207 sq ft works out to about 4 billion Btu (1,169 MWh-equivalent) in 2020. The disclosure also reports 642,127 kWh of electricity and 17,937 therms of natural gas for the year.

Which law requires Allston & Stadium (Ll040,St386) to report its energy use?

Allston & Stadium (Ll040,St386) 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.
