How has Garfield Warehouse's energy performance changed over time?

Its ENERGY STAR score went from 93 in 2020 to 88 in 2024 (-5 points); its best year on file was 2020, at 93. Site EUI moved from 11.9 kBtu/ft² (2021) to 9.2 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 23% decrease. Reported emissions went from 33 tCO₂e to 36 tCO₂e over the same span (up 9%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 88 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 88 means the building performs better than about 88% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 88 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. Garfield Warehouse's 9.2 kBtu/ft² across 58,750 sq ft works out to about 0.5 billion Btu (158 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 153,529 kWh of electricity and 151 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Garfield Warehouse to report its energy use?
