How has Holcomb Elementary School's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 2 California disclosures for Holcomb Elementary School, covering report years 2022, 2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 87 in 2022 to 85 in 2024 (-2 points); its best year on file was 2022, at 87. Site EUI moved from 24.5 kBtu/ft² (2022) to 25.2 kBtu/ft² (2024), an 3% increase. Reported emissions went from 98 tCO₂e to 97 tCO₂e over the same span (down 1%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 85 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 85 means the building performs better than about 85% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 85 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. Holcomb Elementary School's 25.2 kBtu/ft² across 59,076 sq ft works out to about 1.5 billion Btu (436 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 408,115 kWh of electricity and 941 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Holcomb Elementary School to report its energy use?
