Lindsey Academy's ENERGY STAR score of 42 compares with an average of 74 across the 2,016 that report a score; it scores higher than 11% of them and lower than 88%. Its site EUI of 34.3 kBtu/ft² is roughly in line with 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 2.2 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 12% above the group average of 2.0 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 69,283 sq ft, it is about half of the average floor area of 129,123 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1951, 25 years earlier 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 Lindsey Academy's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 4 California disclosures for Lindsey Academy, covering report years 2021–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 25 in 2021 to 42 in 2024 (+17 points); its best year on file was 2023, at 48. Site EUI moved from 51.5 kBtu/ft² (2021) to 34.3 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 33% decrease. Reported emissions went from 223 tCO₂e to 154 tCO₂e over the same span (down 31%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 42 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 42 means the building performs better than about 42% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 42 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 33 points below 75, the threshold for ENERGY STAR certification. 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. Lindsey Academy's 34.3 kBtu/ft² across 69,283 sq ft works out to about 2.4 billion Btu (696 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 569,692 kWh of electricity and 4,738 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Lindsey Academy to report its energy use?
Lindsey Academy 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:23395122:2024).
