Bear Valley Middle's ENERGY STAR score of 71 compares with an average of 74 across the 2,016 that report a score; it scores higher than 36% of them and lower than 63%. Its site EUI of 24.6 kBtu/ft² is about 29% 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 1.0 kgCO₂e/ft² is about half of the group average of 2.0 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 97,112 sq ft, it is about 25% 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.
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 71 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 71 means the building performs better than about 71% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 71 falls in band B — above median (70–84). It sits 4 points below 75, the threshold for ENERGY STAR certification. 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. Bear Valley Middle's 24.6 kBtu/ft² across 97,112 sq ft works out to about 2.4 billion Btu (700 MWh-equivalent) in 2022. The disclosure also reports 390,590 kWh of electricity and 505 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Bear Valley Middle to report its energy use?
Bear Valley Middle 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.
