How has Mission Oak High School's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 California disclosures for Mission Oak High School, covering report years 2022–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 88 in 2022 to 82 in 2024 (-6 points); its best year on file was 2022, at 88. Site EUI moved from 39.5 kBtu/ft² (2023) to 36.6 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 7% decrease. Reported emissions went from 372 tCO₂e to 370 tCO₂e over the same span (down 1%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 82 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 82 means the building performs better than about 82% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 82 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. Mission Oak High School's 36.6 kBtu/ft² across 165,688 sq ft works out to about 6.1 billion Btu (1,777 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 1,007,334 kWh of electricity and 26,722 therms of natural gas for the year.
