How has Cathedral City Elementary's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 7 California disclosures for Cathedral City Elementary, covering report years 2018–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 100 in 2018 to 99 in 2024 (-1 points); its best year on file was 2018, at 100. Site EUI moved from 23.5 kBtu/ft² (2018) to 25.4 kBtu/ft² (2024), an 8% increase. Reported emissions went from 151 tCO₂e to 126 tCO₂e over the same span (down 17%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 99 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 99 means the building performs better than about 99% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 99 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. Cathedral City Elementary's 25.4 kBtu/ft² across 90,675 sq ft works out to about 2.3 billion Btu (675 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 522,296 kWh of electricity and 1,389 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Cathedral City Elementary to report its energy use?
Cathedral City Elementary 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:6877726:2024).
