Its site EUI of 82.2 kBtu/ft² is about 46% above the average of 56.4 kBtu/ft² — it uses more energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 4.8 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 33% above the group average of 3.6 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 52,318 sq ft, it is about 66% below the average floor area of 151,937 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 2000, 15 years later than the group's average year built (1985).

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 84 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 84 means the building performs better than about 84% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 84 falls in band B — above median (70–84). 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. Pacific Vista Business Center E - 25500's 82.2 kBtu/ft² across 52,318 sq ft works out to about 4.3 billion Btu (1,260 MWh-equivalent) in 2020. The disclosure also reports 822,655 kWh of electricity and 12,418 therms of natural gas for the year.
