Its ENERGY STAR score went from 67 in 2019 to 98 in 2024 (+31 points); its best year on file was 2022, at 98. Site EUI moved from 34.7 kBtu/ft² (2019) to 37.7 kBtu/ft² (2024), an 9% increase.

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 98 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 98 means the building performs better than about 98% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 98 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. Courtland City Lights's 37.7 kBtu/ft² across 111,764 sq ft works out to about 4.2 billion Btu (1,235 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 538,884 kWh of electricity for the year.
