Sierra Vista High School's ENERGY STAR score of 76 compares with an average of 74 across the 2,016 that report a score; it scores higher than 43% of them and lower than 56%. Its site EUI of 39.5 kBtu/ft² is about 14% above the average of 34.6 kBtu/ft² — it uses more energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 2.5 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 25% above the group average of 2.0 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 51,540 sq ft, it is about 60% below the average floor area of 129,123 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1938, 38 years earlier 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.
How has Sierra Vista High School's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 4 California disclosures for Sierra Vista High School, covering report years 2018, 2022, 2023, 2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 90 in 2018 to 76 in 2024 (-14 points); its best year on file was 2018, at 90. Site EUI moved from 26.7 kBtu/ft² (2018) to 39.5 kBtu/ft² (2024), an 48% increase. Reported emissions went from 86 tCO₂e to 129 tCO₂e over the same span (up 50%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 76 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 76 means the building performs better than about 76% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 76 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. Sierra Vista High School's 39.5 kBtu/ft² across 51,540 sq ft works out to about 2 billion Btu (597 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 423,608 kWh of electricity and 6,225 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Sierra Vista High School to report its energy use?
Sierra Vista High School 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:4852384:2024). 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.
