How has Wilson Elementary School's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 4 California disclosures for Wilson Elementary School, covering report years 2018, 2022, 2023, 2024. Its ENERGY STAR score was 100 in both 2022 and 2024. Site EUI moved from 6.1 kBtu/ft² (2022) to 14.1 kBtu/ft² (2024), an 131% increase. Reported emissions went from 24 tCO₂e to 49 tCO₂e over the same span (up 106%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 100 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: 100 is the top of the scale. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 100 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. Wilson Elementary School's 14.1 kBtu/ft² across 57,543 sq ft works out to about 0.8 billion Btu (238 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 155,924 kWh of electricity and 2,639 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Wilson Elementary School to report its energy use?
Wilson Elementary 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:6429091:2024).
