How does Jane Addams Middle School compare with other K-12 school buildings in California?
The latest disclosures cover 2,128 K-12 school buildings in California, out of 40,029 buildings citywide. Jane Addams Middle School's ENERGY STAR score of 93 compares with an average of 74 across the 2,016 that report a score; it scores higher than 73% of them and lower than 25%. Its site EUI of 14.1 kBtu/ft² is about 59% 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 1.0 kgCO₂e/ft² is about half of the group average of 2.0 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 77,205 sq ft, it is about 40% below the average floor area of 129,123 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 2000, 24 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.
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. Jane Addams Middle School's 14.1 kBtu/ft² across 77,205 sq ft works out to about 1.1 billion Btu (319 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. The disclosure also reports 319,772 kWh of electricity for the year.
Which law requires Jane Addams Middle School to report its energy use?
Jane Addams Middle 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 2023 disclosure (source record california:35471964:2023).
