Lodi High

How does Lodi High 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. Lodi High's ENERGY STAR score of 45 compares with an average of 74 across the 2,016 that report a score; it scores higher than 13% of them and lower than 86%. Its site EUI of 65.0 kBtu/ft² is about 88% above the average of 34.6 kBtu/ft² — it uses more energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 3.8 kgCO₂e/ft² is about twice the group average of 2.0 kgCO₂e/ft².

At 210,208 sq ft, it is about 63% above the average floor area of 129,123 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 2001, 25 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 Lodi High's energy performance changed over time?

BuildingCensus holds 3 California disclosures for Lodi High, covering report years 2022–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 66 in 2022 to 45 in 2024 (-21 points); its best year on file was 2022, at 66. Site EUI moved from 48.4 kBtu/ft² (2022) to 65.0 kBtu/ft² (2024), an 34% increase. Reported emissions went from 616 tCO₂e to 807 tCO₂e over the same span (up 31%).

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 45 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 45 means the building performs better than about 45% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 45 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 30 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. Lodi High's 65.0 kBtu/ft² across 210,208 sq ft works out to about 13.7 billion Btu (4,004 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 1,805,144 kWh of electricity and 74,917 therms of natural gas for the year.

Which law requires Lodi High to report its energy use?

Lodi High 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:27490289:2024). AB 802 requires every California commercial building over 50,000 sq ft to report energy use to the CEC annually; the CEC publicly discloses the results statewide.
