Its site EUI of 21.2 kBtu/ft² is about 39% below 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 0.4 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 79% below the group average of 2.0 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 62,043 sq ft, it is about half of the average floor area of 129,123 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1963, 13 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 Oak Hill Elementary School's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 California disclosures for Oak Hill Elementary School, covering report years 2022–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 95 in 2022 to 97 in 2024 (+2 points); its best year on file was 2023, at 97. Site EUI moved from 21.0 kBtu/ft² (2022) to 21.2 kBtu/ft² (2024), an 1% increase. Reported emissions went from 34 tCO₂e to 26 tCO₂e over the same span (down 22%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 97 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 97 means the building performs better than about 97% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 97 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. Oak Hill Elementary School's 21.2 kBtu/ft² across 62,043 sq ft works out to about 1.3 billion Btu (385 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 115,097 kWh of electricity for the year.
Which law requires Oak Hill Elementary School to report its energy use?
Oak Hill 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:4057119:2024).
