Its ENERGY STAR score went from 90 in 2020 to 95 in 2022 (+5 points); its best year on file was 2021, at 95. Site EUI moved from 39.7 kBtu/ft² (2020) to 35.2 kBtu/ft² (2022), a 11% decrease. Reported emissions went from 187 tCO₂e to 171 tCO₂e over the same span (down 8%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 95 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 95 means the building performs better than about 95% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 95 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. Canyon Springs (Cn02)'s 35.2 kBtu/ft² across 75,560 sq ft works out to about 2.7 billion Btu (779 MWh-equivalent) in 2022. The disclosure also reports 478,560 kWh of electricity and 10,332 therms of natural gas for the year.
