Its site EUI of 209.7 kBtu/ft² is about 272% above the average of 56.4 kBtu/ft² — it uses more energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 13.3 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 269% above the group average of 3.6 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 15,000 sq ft, it is about 90% below the average floor area of 151,937 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1950, 35 years earlier than the group's average year built (1985).

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 9 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 9 means the building performs better than about 9% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 9 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 66 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. Scusd District Office's 209.7 kBtu/ft² across 15,000 sq ft works out to about 3.1 billion Btu (922 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. The disclosure also reports 209,554 kWh of electricity and 28,048 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Scusd District Office to report its energy use?
