How has 9605 Scranton Road's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 2 San Diego disclosures for 9605 Scranton Road, covering report years 2021–2022. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 86 in 2021 to 94 in 2022 (+8 points). Site EUI moved from 36.2 kBtu/ft² (2021) to 27.6 kBtu/ft² (2022), a 24% decrease.
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 94 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 94 means the building performs better than about 94% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 94 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. 9605 Scranton Road's 27.6 kBtu/ft² across 161,247 sq ft works out to about 4.5 billion Btu (1,304 MWh-equivalent) in 2022.
