How has Washington Academic Middle School's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 California disclosures for Washington Academic Middle School, covering report years 2022–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 67 in 2022 to 75 in 2024 (+8 points); its best year on file was 2023, at 79. Site EUI moved from 92.3 kBtu/ft² (2022) to 75.5 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 18% decrease. Reported emissions went from 736 tCO₂e to 598 tCO₂e over the same span (down 19%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 75 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 75 means the building performs better than about 75% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 75 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. Washington Academic Middle School's 75.5 kBtu/ft² across 182,081 sq ft works out to about 13.7 billion Btu (4,029 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 304,078 kWh of electricity and 99,547 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Washington Academic Middle School to report its energy use?
