Its site EUI of 19.6 kBtu/ft² is about 63% below the average of 53.2 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group.

At 186,271 sq ft, it is about 50% above the average floor area of 124,053 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 2000, 9 years later than the group's average year built (1991).

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 98 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 98 means the building performs better than about 98% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 98 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. The Shoppes At South Bay's 19.6 kBtu/ft² across 186,271 sq ft works out to about 3.7 billion Btu (1,070 MWh-equivalent) in 2021. The disclosure also reports 1,066,155 kWh of electricity for the year.
