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. Mt Pleasant High School's 77.7 kBtu/ft² across 161,683 sq ft works out to about 12.6 billion Btu (3,682 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 542,815 kWh of electricity and 66,477 therms of natural gas for the year.
