How has Oceanside's energy performance changed over time?

Its ENERGY STAR score went from 60 in 2019 to 65 in 2021 (+5 points); its best year on file was 2020, at 67. Site EUI moved from 38.6 kBtu/ft² (2019) to 39.7 kBtu/ft² (2021), an 3% increase.

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 65 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 65 means the building performs better than about 65% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 65 falls in band C — below median (55–69). It sits 10 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. Oceanside's 39.7 kBtu/ft² across 96,905 sq ft works out to about 3.8 billion Btu (1,127 MWh-equivalent) in 2021. The disclosure also reports 669,176 kWh of electricity and 15,858 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Oceanside to report its energy use?
