What does an ENERGY STAR score of 48 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 48 means the building performs better than about 48% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 48 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 27 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. Concord, Ca's 179.5 kBtu/ft² across 107,927 sq ft works out to about 19.4 billion Btu (5,678 MWh-equivalent) in 2022. The disclosure also reports 196,603 therms of natural gas for the year.
