Alamos Elementary School's ENERGY STAR score of 95 compares with an average of 74 across the 2,016 that report a score; it scores higher than 78% of them and lower than 19%. Its site EUI of 15.3 kBtu/ft² is about 56% below the average of 34.6 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 0.9 kgCO₂e/ft² is about half of the group average of 2.0 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 106,597 sq ft, it is about 17% below the average floor area of 129,123 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 2004, 28 years later than the group's average year built (1976). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 6,548 K-12 school buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 64 and a site EUI of 52.7 kBtu/ft².
How has Alamos Elementary School's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 California disclosures for Alamos Elementary School, covering report years 2022–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 97 in 2022 to 95 in 2024 (-2 points); its best year on file was 2022, at 97. Site EUI moved from 15.6 kBtu/ft² (2022) to 15.3 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 2% decrease. Reported emissions went from 114 tCO₂e to 101 tCO₂e over the same span (down 11%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 95 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 95 means the building performs better than about 95% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 95 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 California, 65% 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. Alamos Elementary School's 15.3 kBtu/ft² across 106,597 sq ft works out to about 1.6 billion Btu (478 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 406,940 kWh of electricity and 1,654 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Alamos Elementary School to report its energy use?
Alamos Elementary School reports under AB 802 (Public Resources Code §25402.10), the legal basis of California's Building Energy Benchmarking Program (statewide), which publishes each covered building's annual benchmarking results. The record shown here is the report-year 2024 disclosure (source record california:3509647:2024).
