How has Sanchez Elementary's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 4 California disclosures for Sanchez Elementary, covering report years 2019–2022. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 77 in 2019 to 71 in 2022 (-6 points); its best year on file was 2020, at 99. Site EUI moved from 34.1 kBtu/ft² (2019) to 35.8 kBtu/ft² (2022), an 5% increase. Reported emissions went from 96 tCO₂e to 108 tCO₂e over the same span (up 12%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 71 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 71 means the building performs better than about 71% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 71 falls in band B — above median (70–84). It sits 4 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. Sanchez Elementary's 35.8 kBtu/ft² across 50,500 sq ft works out to about 1.8 billion Btu (530 MWh-equivalent) in 2022. The disclosure also reports 130,964 kWh of electricity and 14,308 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Sanchez Elementary to report its energy use?
Sanchez 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 2022 disclosure (source record california:3594355:2022).
