How has Goshen Elementary School's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 4 California disclosures for Goshen Elementary School, covering report years 2018, 2022, 2023, 2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 95 in 2022 to 91 in 2024 (-4 points); its best year on file was 2022, at 95. Site EUI moved from 32.2 kBtu/ft² (2022) to 30.7 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 5% decrease. Reported emissions went from 98 tCO₂e to 97 tCO₂e over the same span (down 1%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 91 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 91 means the building performs better than about 91% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 91 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. Goshen Elementary School's 30.7 kBtu/ft² across 51,440 sq ft works out to about 1.6 billion Btu (463 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 277,084 kWh of electricity and 6,428 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Goshen Elementary School to report its energy use?
Goshen Elementary School 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.
