How has Lusk II Building C's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 2 San Diego disclosures for Lusk II Building C, covering report years 2021–2022. Only one of those years carries energy figures.
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 96 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 96 means the building performs better than about 96% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 96 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. Lusk II Building C's 23.0 kBtu/ft² across 83,002 sq ft works out to about 1.9 billion Btu (559 MWh-equivalent) in 2022.
Which law requires Lusk II Building C to report its energy use?
