How has Folsom Middle School's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 California disclosures for Folsom Middle School, covering report years 2022–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 62 in 2022 to 74 in 2024 (+12 points).

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 74 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 74 means the building performs better than about 74% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 74 falls in band B — above median (70–84). It sits 1 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. Folsom Middle School's 33.1 kBtu/ft² across 164,733 sq ft works out to about 5.5 billion Btu (1,598 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 948,967 kWh of electricity and 26,043 therms of natural gas for the year.
