How has Education Center's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 2 California disclosures for Education Center, covering report years 2023–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score was 43 in both 2023 and 2024. Site EUI moved from 89.3 kBtu/ft² (2023) to 85.3 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 4% decrease. Reported emissions went from 486 tCO₂e to 450 tCO₂e over the same span (down 7%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 43 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 43 means the building performs better than about 43% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 43 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 32 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. Education Center's 85.3 kBtu/ft² across 85,213 sq ft works out to about 7.3 billion Btu (2,130 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 1,501,231 kWh of electricity and 20,744 therms of natural gas for the year.
