What does an ENERGY STAR score of 85 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 85 means the building performs better than about 85% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 85 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. W002730-Paso Robles Ca's 49.0 kBtu/ft² across 125,876 sq ft works out to about 6.2 billion Btu (1,808 MWh-equivalent) in 2022. The disclosure also reports 1,391,342 kWh of electricity and 15,102 therms of natural gas for the year.

Which law requires W002730-Paso Robles Ca to report its energy use?
