How has Andrew Carnegie Middle School's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 California disclosures for Andrew Carnegie Middle School, covering report years 2022–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 82 in 2022 to 89 in 2024 (+7 points). Site EUI moved from 35.4 kBtu/ft² (2023) to 28.5 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 19% decrease. Reported emissions went from 150 tCO₂e to 130 tCO₂e over the same span (down 13%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 89 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 89 means the building performs better than about 89% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 89 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. Andrew Carnegie Middle School's 28.5 kBtu/ft² across 70,376 sq ft works out to about 2 billion Btu (588 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 330,043 kWh of electricity and 10,334 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Andrew Carnegie Middle School to report its energy use?
