At 118,522 sq ft, it is roughly in line with the average floor area of 129,123 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1990, 14 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 James Workman Ms's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 7 California disclosures for James Workman Ms, covering report years 2018–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 97 in 2018 to 93 in 2024 (-4 points); its best year on file was 2020, at 100. Site EUI moved from 37.5 kBtu/ft² (2018) to 40.1 kBtu/ft² (2024), an 7% increase. Reported emissions went from 179 tCO₂e to 229 tCO₂e over the same span (up 28%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 93 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 93 means the building performs better than about 93% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 93 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. James Workman Ms's 40.1 kBtu/ft² across 118,522 sq ft works out to about 4.8 billion Btu (1,393 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 857,307 kWh of electricity and 6,628 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires James Workman Ms to report its energy use?
