How has Granger Junior High School's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 6 California disclosures for Granger Junior High School, covering report years 2019–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 87 in 2019 to 89 in 2024 (+2 points); its best year on file was 2020, at 100. Site EUI moved from 19.6 kBtu/ft² (2019) to 22.9 kBtu/ft² (2024), an 17% increase. Reported emissions went from 74 tCO₂e to 90 tCO₂e over the same span (up 22%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 89 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 89 means the building performs better than about 89% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 89 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. Granger Junior High School's 22.9 kBtu/ft² across 86,643 sq ft works out to about 2 billion Btu (581 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 286,228 kWh of electricity and 4,814 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Granger Junior High School to report its energy use?
Granger Junior High 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. The record shown here is the report-year 2024 disclosure (source record california:9484267:2024).
