How does Galileo High 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. Galileo High's ENERGY STAR score of 87 compares with an average of 74 across the 2,016 that report a score; it scores higher than 60% of them and lower than 37%. Its site EUI of 37.5 kBtu/ft² is roughly in line with the average of 34.6 kBtu/ft². Its emissions intensity of 2.2 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 10% above the group average of 2.0 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 242,400 sq ft, it is about 88% above the average floor area of 129,123 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1924, 52 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.
How has Galileo High's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 4 California disclosures for Galileo High, covering report years 2019–2022. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 89 in 2019 to 87 in 2022 (-2 points); its best year on file was 2020, at 99. Site EUI moved from 34.8 kBtu/ft² (2019) to 37.5 kBtu/ft² (2022), an 8% increase. Reported emissions went from 455 tCO₂e to 526 tCO₂e over the same span (up 16%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 87 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 87 means the building performs better than about 87% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 87 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. Galileo High's 37.5 kBtu/ft² across 242,400 sq ft works out to about 9.1 billion Btu (2,664 MWh-equivalent) in 2022. The disclosure also reports 705,235 kWh of electricity and 66,930 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Galileo High to report its energy use?
Galileo High 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 2022 disclosure (source record california:3594464:2022). AB 802 requires every California commercial building over 50,000 sq ft to report energy use to the CEC annually; the CEC publicly discloses the results statewide.
