Its ENERGY STAR score went from 86 in 2023 to 75 in 2024 (-11 points); its best year on file was 2023, at 86. Site EUI moved from 24.0 kBtu/ft² (2023) to 29.3 kBtu/ft² (2024), an 22% increase. Reported emissions went from 97 tCO₂e to 95 tCO₂e over the same span (down 2%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 75 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 75 means the building performs better than about 75% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 75 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. Mesquite Trails Elementary School's 29.3 kBtu/ft² across 56,966 sq ft works out to about 1.7 billion Btu (489 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 418,448 kWh of electricity for the year.
