At 55,326 sq ft, it is about 63% below the average floor area of 150,919 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1998, 10 years later than the group's average year built (1988).

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 95 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 95 means the building performs better than about 95% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 95 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. Telacu Housing-Pacoima, Inc.'s 27.1 kBtu/ft² across 55,326 sq ft works out to about 1.5 billion Btu (439 MWh-equivalent) in 2019. The disclosure also reports 271,065 kWh of electricity and 5,754 therms of natural gas for the year.
