Its site EUI of 26.8 kBtu/ft² is about 23% below the average of 34.6 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 1.8 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 12% below the group average of 2.0 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 59,988 sq ft, it is about half of the average floor area of 129,123 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1993, 17 years later 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 Greer Elementary's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 California disclosures for Greer Elementary, covering report years 2022–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 86 in 2022 to 88 in 2024 (+2 points). Site EUI moved from 30.4 kBtu/ft² (2023) to 26.8 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 12% decrease. Reported emissions went from 104 tCO₂e to 106 tCO₂e over the same span (up 2%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 88 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 88 means the building performs better than about 88% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 88 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. Greer Elementary's 26.8 kBtu/ft² across 59,988 sq ft works out to about 1.6 billion Btu (471 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 395,486 kWh of electricity and 3,112 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Greer Elementary to report its energy use?
Greer Elementary 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:27227536:2024).
