How has 4790 Eastgate's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 2 San Diego disclosures for 4790 Eastgate, covering report years 2021–2022. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 81 in 2021 to 92 in 2022 (+11 points). Site EUI moved from 40.1 kBtu/ft² (2021) to 30.3 kBtu/ft² (2022), a 24% decrease.
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 92 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 92 means the building performs better than about 92% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 92 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 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. 4790 Eastgate's 30.3 kBtu/ft² across 60,900 sq ft works out to about 1.8 billion Btu (541 MWh-equivalent) in 2022.
Which law requires 4790 Eastgate to report its energy use?
