How has Mountain View High School's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 2 California disclosures for Mountain View High School, covering report years 2022–2023. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 76 in 2022 to 70 in 2023 (-6 points); its best year on file was 2022, at 76. Reported emissions went from 319 tCO₂e to 329 tCO₂e over the same span (up 3%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 70 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 70 means the building performs better than about 70% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 70 falls in band B — above median (70–84). It sits 5 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. Mountain View High School's 30.4 kBtu/ft² across 164,000 sq ft works out to about 5 billion Btu (1,461 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. The disclosure also reports 1,180,843 kWh of electricity and 11,632 therms of natural gas for the year.
