National City Middle School's ENERGY STAR score of 54 compares with an average of 74 across the 2,016 that report a score; it scores higher than 19% of them and lower than 81%. Its site EUI of 31.5 kBtu/ft² is roughly in line with the average of 34.6 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 2.0 kgCO₂e/ft² is roughly in line with the group average of 2.0 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 66,257 sq ft, it is about half of the average floor area of 129,123 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1970, 6 years earlier than the group's average year built (1976). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 6,548 K-12 school buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 64 and a site EUI of 52.7 kBtu/ft².
How has National City Middle School's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 6 California disclosures for National City Middle School, covering report years 2019–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 59 in 2019 to 54 in 2024 (-5 points); its best year on file was 2020, at 96. Site EUI moved from 22.2 kBtu/ft² (2019) to 31.5 kBtu/ft² (2024), an 42% increase. Reported emissions went from 104 tCO₂e to 136 tCO₂e over the same span (up 31%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 54 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 54 means the building performs better than about 54% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 54 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 21 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. National City Middle School's 31.5 kBtu/ft² across 66,257 sq ft works out to about 2.1 billion Btu (612 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 475,523 kWh of electricity and 5,290 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires National City Middle School to report its energy use?
