How has Roosevelt Elementary's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 4 California disclosures for Roosevelt Elementary, covering report years 2021–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 19 in 2021 to 28 in 2024 (+9 points); its best year on file was 2023, at 31. Site EUI moved from 56.6 kBtu/ft² (2021) to 40.8 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 28% decrease. Reported emissions went from 250 tCO₂e to 182 tCO₂e over the same span (down 27%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 28 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 28 means the building performs better than about 28% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 28 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 47 points below 75, the threshold for ENERGY STAR certification. 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. Roosevelt Elementary's 40.8 kBtu/ft² across 70,236 sq ft works out to about 2.9 billion Btu (840 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 688,688 kWh of electricity and 4,881 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Roosevelt Elementary to report its energy use?
Roosevelt Elementary 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:23395141:2024). AB 802 requires every California commercial building over 50,000 sq ft to report energy use to the CEC annually; the CEC publicly discloses the results statewide.
