How has Norton Elementary School's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 California disclosures for Norton Elementary School, covering report years 2022–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score was 92 in both 2022 and 2024. Site EUI moved from 26.1 kBtu/ft² (2022) to 25.9 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 1% decrease. Reported emissions went from 103 tCO₂e to 99 tCO₂e over the same span (down 4%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 92 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 92 means the building performs better than about 92% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 92 falls in band A — high performer (85–100). 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. Norton Elementary School's 25.9 kBtu/ft² across 58,808 sq ft works out to about 1.5 billion Btu (446 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 405,176 kWh of electricity and 1,342 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Norton Elementary School to report its energy use?
Norton Elementary School reports under AB 802 (Public Resources Code §25402.10), the legal basis of California's Building Energy Benchmarking Program (statewide), which publishes each covered building's annual benchmarking results. The record shown here is the report-year 2024 disclosure (source record california:3983787:2024).
