Phillips Plywood Co.'s ENERGY STAR score of 67 compares with an average of 67 across the 2,485 that report a score; it scores higher than 38% of them and lower than 61%. Its site EUI of 8.7 kBtu/ft² is about 56% below the average of 19.8 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 0.6 kgCO₂e/ft² is about half of the group average of 1.3 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 78,000 sq ft, it is about 67% below the average floor area of 238,298 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1989, 5 years earlier than the group's average year built (1994). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 4,082 distribution center buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 65 and a site EUI of 24.2 kBtu/ft².
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 67 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 67 means the building performs better than about 67% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 67 falls in band C — below median (55–69). It sits 8 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. Phillips Plywood Co.'s 8.7 kBtu/ft² across 78,000 sq ft works out to about 0.7 billion Btu (199 MWh-equivalent) in 2018. The disclosure also reports 196,622 kWh of electricity and 154 therms of natural gas for the year.
