Its ENERGY STAR score went from 45 in 2018 to 95 in 2024 (+50 points); its best year on file was 2023, at 95. Site EUI moved from 55.1 kBtu/ft² (2018) to 34.1 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 38% decrease. Reported emissions went from 441 tCO₂e to 312 tCO₂e over the same span (down 29%).

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. W001987-Lake Elsinore Ca's 34.1 kBtu/ft² across 138,134 sq ft works out to about 4.7 billion Btu (1,380 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 1,173,326 kWh of electricity and 8,786 therms of natural gas for the year.

Which law requires W001987-Lake Elsinore Ca to report its energy use?

W001987-Lake Elsinore Ca reports under AB 802 (Public Resources Code §25402.10), the legal basis of California's Building Energy Benchmarking Program (statewide), which publishes each covered building's annual benchmarking results. The record shown here is the report-year 2024 disclosure (source record california:4816424:2024). AB 802 requires every California commercial building over 50,000 sq ft to report energy use to the CEC annually; the CEC publicly discloses the results statewide.
