How has 4820 Eastgate's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 2 San Diego disclosures for 4820 Eastgate, covering report years 2021–2022. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 46 in 2021 to 52 in 2022 (+6 points). Site EUI moved from 73.1 kBtu/ft² (2021) to 64.0 kBtu/ft² (2022), a 12% decrease.
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 52 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 52 means the building performs better than about 52% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 52 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 23 points below 75, the threshold for ENERGY STAR certification. 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. 4820 Eastgate's 64.0 kBtu/ft² across 60,000 sq ft works out to about 3.8 billion Btu (1,125 MWh-equivalent) in 2022.
