How has Parkside Elementary School's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 California disclosures for Parkside Elementary School, covering report years 2022–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 100 in 2022 to 86 in 2024 (-14 points); its best year on file was 2022, at 100. Site EUI moved from 19.3 kBtu/ft² (2022) to 31.0 kBtu/ft² (2024), an 61% increase. Reported emissions went from 96 tCO₂e to 138 tCO₂e over the same span (up 44%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 86 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 86 means the building performs better than about 86% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 86 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. Parkside Elementary School's 31.0 kBtu/ft² across 69,765 sq ft works out to about 2.2 billion Btu (634 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 298,384 kWh of electricity for the year.
Which law requires Parkside Elementary School to report its energy use?
Parkside 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:28482636:2024).
