Earhart Middle School's ENERGY STAR score of 58 compares with an average of 74 across the 2,016 that report a score; it scores higher than 22% of them and lower than 77%. Its site EUI of 38.8 kBtu/ft² is about 12% 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 2.5 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 25% above the group average of 2.0 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 92,623 sq ft, it is about 28% below the average floor area of 129,123 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1995, 19 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 58 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 58 means the building performs better than about 58% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 58 falls in band C — below median (55–69). It sits 17 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. Earhart Middle School's 38.8 kBtu/ft² across 92,623 sq ft works out to about 3.6 billion Btu (1,053 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 825,489 kWh of electricity and 8,440 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Earhart Middle School to report its energy use?
Earhart Middle School 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.
