How has Wilson High's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 4 California disclosures for Wilson High, covering report years 2021–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 46 in 2021 to 44 in 2024 (-2 points); its best year on file was 2021, at 46. Site EUI moved from 44.1 kBtu/ft² (2021) to 36.8 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 17% decrease. Reported emissions went from 1,053 tCO₂e to 921 tCO₂e over the same span (down 13%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 44 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 44 means the building performs better than about 44% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 44 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 31 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. Wilson High's 36.8 kBtu/ft² across 403,905 sq ft works out to about 14.9 billion Btu (4,356 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 2,517,980 kWh of electricity and 65,999 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Wilson High to report its energy use?
Wilson High 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:23395154:2024).
