What does an ENERGY STAR score of 100 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: 100 is the top of the scale. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 100 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 Los Angeles, 63% 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. 17107 VENTURA BLVD's 0.0 kBtu/ft² across 25,066 sq ft works out to about 0 billion Btu (0 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 0.0 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is different. The disclosure also reports 224 thousand gallons of water for the year.

Which law requires 17107 VENTURA BLVD to report its energy use?
