How does Oak Ridge High School compare with other K-12 school buildings in California?
The latest disclosures cover 2,128 K-12 school buildings in California, out of 40,029 buildings citywide. Oak Ridge High School's ENERGY STAR score of 99 compares with an average of 74 across the 2,016 that report a score; it scores higher than 89% of them and lower than 7%. Its site EUI of 27.3 kBtu/ft² is about 21% 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 1.0 kgCO₂e/ft² is about half of the group average of 2.0 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 248,407 sq ft, it is about twice the average floor area of 129,123 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 2000, 24 years later 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 Ridge High School's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 California disclosures for Oak Ridge High School, covering report years 2022–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 100 in 2022 to 99 in 2024 (-1 points); its best year on file was 2022, at 100. Site EUI moved from 19.3 kBtu/ft² (2022) to 27.3 kBtu/ft² (2024), an 41% increase. Reported emissions went from 231 tCO₂e to 247 tCO₂e over the same span (up 7%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 99 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 99 means the building performs better than about 99% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 99 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 Ridge High School's 27.3 kBtu/ft² across 248,407 sq ft works out to about 6.8 billion Btu (1,987 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 739,113 kWh of electricity and 14,182 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Oak Ridge High School to report its energy use?
