Its site EUI of 209.2 kBtu/ft² is about 219% above the average of 65.6 kBtu/ft² — it uses more energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 11.4 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 186% above the group average of 4.0 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 383,000 sq ft, it is about 128% above the average floor area of 167,786 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1959, 29 years earlier than the group's average year built (1988).

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 17 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 17 means the building performs better than about 17% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 17 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 58 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. Riviera Palm Springs's 209.2 kBtu/ft² across 383,000 sq ft works out to about 80.1 billion Btu (23,482 MWh-equivalent) in 2018. The disclosure also reports 3,373,361 kWh of electricity and 672,809 therms of natural gas for the year.
