How has Bessie Carmichael Elementary's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 4 California disclosures for Bessie Carmichael Elementary, covering report years 2019–2022. Its ENERGY STAR score was 36 in both 2019 and 2022.

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 36 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 36 means the building performs better than about 36% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 36 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 39 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. Bessie Carmichael Elementary's 30.9 kBtu/ft² across 56,358 sq ft works out to about 1.7 billion Btu (510 MWh-equivalent) in 2022. The disclosure also reports 351,245 kWh of electricity and 5,678 therms of natural gas for the year.
