How has Martin Luther King Jr. Technology Academy's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 California disclosures for Martin Luther King Jr. Technology Academy, covering report years 2022–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 70 in 2022 to 80 in 2024 (+10 points). Site EUI moved from 39.5 kBtu/ft² (2022) to 32.1 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 19% decrease. Reported emissions went from 246 tCO₂e to 209 tCO₂e over the same span (down 15%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 80 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 80 means the building performs better than about 80% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 80 falls in band B — above median (70–84). 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. Martin Luther King Jr. Technology Academy's 32.1 kBtu/ft² across 102,578 sq ft works out to about 3.3 billion Btu (965 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 508,459 kWh of electricity and 17,704 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Martin Luther King Jr. Technology Academy to report its energy use?
