How has 3570 Carmel Mountain's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 2 San Diego disclosures for 3570 Carmel Mountain, covering report years 2021–2022. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 75 in 2021 to 80 in 2022 (+5 points). Site EUI moved from 34.9 kBtu/ft² (2021) to 33.4 kBtu/ft² (2022), a 4% decrease.
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 80 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 80 means the building performs better than about 80% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 80 falls in band B — above median (70–84). 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 San Diego, 73% 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. 3570 Carmel Mountain's 33.4 kBtu/ft² across 103,533 sq ft works out to about 3.5 billion Btu (1,013 MWh-equivalent) in 2022.
