What does an ENERGY STAR score of 80 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 80 means the building performs better than about 80% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 80 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. Bridgeport Ranch (Bg20)'s 45.6 kBtu/ft² across 176,373 sq ft works out to about 8 billion Btu (2,357 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 792,732 kWh of electricity and 54,457 therms of natural gas for the year.

Which law requires Bridgeport Ranch (Bg20) to report its energy use?

Bridgeport Ranch (Bg20) 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.
