How has Felicita Elementary School's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 California disclosures for Felicita Elementary School, covering report years 2022–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 67 in 2022 to 92 in 2024 (+25 points). Site EUI moved from 22.7 kBtu/ft² (2022) to 25.7 kBtu/ft² (2024), an 13% increase. Reported emissions went from 85 tCO₂e to 94 tCO₂e over the same span (up 10%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 92 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 92 means the building performs better than about 92% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 92 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. Felicita Elementary School's 25.7 kBtu/ft² across 53,869 sq ft works out to about 1.4 billion Btu (406 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 134,448 kWh of electricity and 1,147 therms of natural gas for the year.
