Its ENERGY STAR score went from 100 in 2019 to 97 in 2020 (-3 points); its best year on file was 2019, at 100. Site EUI moved from 5.0 kBtu/ft² (2019) to 51.5 kBtu/ft² (2020), an 930% increase. Reported emissions went from 90 tCO₂e to 842 tCO₂e over the same span (up 837%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 97 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 97 means the building performs better than about 97% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 97 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. San Diego Mission Bay Resort's 51.5 kBtu/ft² across 271,797 sq ft works out to about 14 billion Btu (4,102 MWh-equivalent) in 2020. The disclosure also reports 2,190,939 kWh of electricity and 65,120 therms of natural gas for the year.
