What does an ENERGY STAR score of 37 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 37 means the building performs better than about 37% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 37 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 38 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. Fletcher Jones Motorcars's 60.0 kBtu/ft² across 170,065 sq ft works out to about 10.2 billion Btu (2,990 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 2,533,304 kWh of electricity and 19,432 therms of natural gas for the year.

Which law requires Fletcher Jones Motorcars to report its energy use?
