How has Sparkman Alternative Education Center's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 California disclosures for Sparkman Alternative Education Center, covering report years 2022–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 97 in 2022 to 94 in 2024 (-3 points); its best year on file was 2022, at 97. Site EUI moved from 18.4 kBtu/ft² (2022) to 18.1 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 2% decrease. Reported emissions went from 63 tCO₂e to 59 tCO₂e over the same span (down 7%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 94 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 94 means the building performs better than about 94% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 94 falls in band A — high performer (85–100). 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. Sparkman Alternative Education Center's 18.1 kBtu/ft² across 50,063 sq ft works out to about 0.9 billion Btu (266 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 231,119 kWh of electricity and 1,174 therms of natural gas for the year.
