The ENERGY STAR score compares a building’s energy performance to similar buildings nationwide, normalized for weather and operating characteristics. A score of 50 represents median performance. A higher score is better than average; lower is worse. An Energy Star score of 75 or higher qualifies a building for Energy Star certification and LEED for Operations and Maintenance certification, recognition programs for energy efficient, sustainable buildings.
