How does Clairemont Canyons Academy compare with other K-12 school buildings in California?
The latest disclosures cover 2,128 K-12 school buildings in California, out of 40,029 buildings citywide. Clairemont Canyons Academy's ENERGY STAR score of 42 compares with an average of 74 across the 2,016 that report a score; it scores higher than 11% of them and lower than 88%. Its site EUI of 25.0 kBtu/ft² is about 28% 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 1.7 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 17% below the group average of 2.0 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 65,000 sq ft, it is about half of the average floor area of 129,123 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1961, 15 years earlier 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 42 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 42 means the building performs better than about 42% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 42 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 33 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. Clairemont Canyons Academy's 25.0 kBtu/ft² across 65,000 sq ft works out to about 1.6 billion Btu (476 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 411,951 kWh of electricity and 2,732 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Clairemont Canyons Academy to report its energy use?
Clairemont Canyons Academy 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:26665:2024).
