How has Public Safety Academy's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 2 California disclosures for Public Safety Academy, covering report years 2023–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 95 in 2023 to 98 in 2024 (+3 points). Site EUI moved from 14.8 kBtu/ft² (2023) to 13.2 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 11% decrease. Reported emissions went from 87 tCO₂e to 73 tCO₂e over the same span (down 16%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 98 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 98 means the building performs better than about 98% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 98 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. Public Safety Academy's 13.2 kBtu/ft² across 82,863 sq ft works out to about 1.1 billion Btu (321 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 320,496 kWh of electricity for the year.
Which law requires Public Safety Academy to report its energy use?
Public Safety Academy 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:34287246:2024).
