Salt Creek Elementary's ENERGY STAR score of 74 compares with an average of 74 across the 2,016 that report a score; it scores higher than 39% of them and lower than 59%. Its site EUI of 23.5 kBtu/ft² is about 32% 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 1.5 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 24% below the group average of 2.0 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 71,827 sq ft, it is about 44% below the average floor area of 129,123 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 2004, 28 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.
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 74 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 74 means the building performs better than about 74% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 74 falls in band B — above median (70–84). It sits 1 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. Salt Creek Elementary's 23.5 kBtu/ft² across 71,827 sq ft works out to about 1.7 billion Btu (495 MWh-equivalent) in 2018. The disclosure also reports 395,122 kWh of electricity and 2,761 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Salt Creek Elementary to report its energy use?
Salt Creek 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 2018 disclosure (source record california:6788628:2018).
