What does an ENERGY STAR score of 19 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 19 means the building performs better than about 19% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 19 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 56 points below 75, the threshold for ENERGY STAR certification. 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. 22915 VICTORY BLVD's 550.2 kBtu/ft² across 46,939 sq ft works out to about 25.8 billion Btu (7,569 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 770.0 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher.

Which law requires 22915 VICTORY BLVD to report its energy use?
