Its ENERGY STAR score went from 98 in 2019 to 92 in 2023 (-6 points); its best year on file was 2019, at 98. Site EUI moved from 33.6 kBtu/ft² (2019) to 35.6 kBtu/ft² (2023), an 6% increase. Reported emissions went from 218 tCO₂e to 233 tCO₂e over the same span (up 7%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 92 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 92 means the building performs better than about 92% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 92 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. Novo (Tz01)'s 35.6 kBtu/ft² across 106,500 sq ft works out to about 3.8 billion Btu (1,111 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. The disclosure also reports 484,556 kWh of electricity and 21,832 therms of natural gas for the year.
