How has San Luis Obispo (2759)'s energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 7 California disclosures for San Luis Obispo (2759), covering report years 2018–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 77 in 2018 to 91 in 2024 (+14 points).

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 91 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 91 means the building performs better than about 91% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 91 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 Luis Obispo (2759)'s 52.4 kBtu/ft² across 139,176 sq ft works out to about 7.3 billion Btu (2,137 MWh-equivalent) in 2024.
