Cathedral City Hs's ENERGY STAR score of 90 compares with an average of 74 across the 2,016 that report a score; it scores higher than 67% of them and lower than 31%. Its site EUI of 64.6 kBtu/ft² is about 87% above the average of 34.6 kBtu/ft² — it uses more energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 4.1 kgCO₂e/ft² is about twice the group average of 2.0 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 243,031 sq ft, it is about 88% above the average floor area of 129,123 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1988, 12 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 Cathedral City Hs's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 7 California disclosures for Cathedral City Hs, covering report years 2018–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 93 in 2018 to 90 in 2024 (-3 points); its best year on file was 2020, at 96. Site EUI moved from 70.3 kBtu/ft² (2018) to 64.6 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 8% decrease. Reported emissions went from 833 tCO₂e to 997 tCO₂e over the same span (up 20%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 90 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 90 means the building performs better than about 90% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 90 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 Hs's 64.6 kBtu/ft² across 243,031 sq ft works out to about 15.7 billion Btu (4,601 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 1,619,860 kWh of electricity and 48,620 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Cathedral City Hs to report its energy use?
Cathedral City Hs 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:6877783:2024). AB 802 requires every California commercial building over 50,000 sq ft to report energy use to the CEC annually; the CEC publicly discloses the results statewide.
