Its ENERGY STAR score went from 67 in 2019 to 92 in 2024 (+25 points); its best year on file was 2023, at 92. Site EUI moved from 62.6 kBtu/ft² (2019) to 28.1 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 55% decrease.

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. Psychiatry Academic & Clinic Bldg's 28.1 kBtu/ft² across 75,093 sq ft works out to about 2.1 billion Btu (618 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 618,813 kWh of electricity for the year.
