How has Golden Valley High School's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 California disclosures for Golden Valley High School, covering report years 2022–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 95 in 2022 to 100 in 2024 (+5 points); its best year on file was 2023, at 100. Site EUI moved from 28.5 kBtu/ft² (2022) to 17.9 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 37% decrease. Reported emissions went from 356 tCO₂e to 205 tCO₂e over the same span (down 42%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 100 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: 100 is the top of the scale. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 100 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. Golden Valley High School's 17.9 kBtu/ft² across 220,815 sq ft works out to about 4 billion Btu (1,158 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 495,175 kWh of electricity and 17,476 therms of natural gas for the year.
