At 86,341 sq ft, it is about 30% below the average floor area of 124,053 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1976, 15 years earlier than the group's average year built (1991).

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 96 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 96 means the building performs better than about 96% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 96 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. Plumas Pines Shopping Center's 22.8 kBtu/ft² across 86,341 sq ft works out to about 2 billion Btu (577 MWh-equivalent) in 2018. The disclosure also reports 587,423 kWh of electricity for the year.
