How has Sacramento Waldorf School's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 2 California disclosures for Sacramento Waldorf School, covering report years 2023–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 73 in 2023 to 81 in 2024 (+8 points). Site EUI moved from 53.1 kBtu/ft² (2023) to 45.1 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 15% decrease. Reported emissions went from 199 tCO₂e to 175 tCO₂e over the same span (down 12%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 81 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 81 means the building performs better than about 81% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 81 falls in band B — above median (70–84). 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. Sacramento Waldorf School's 45.1 kBtu/ft² across 59,502 sq ft works out to about 2.7 billion Btu (786 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 499,670 kWh of electricity and 11,558 therms of natural gas for the year.
