How does Yavneh Hebrew Academy compare with other K-12 school buildings in California?
The latest disclosures cover 2,128 K-12 school buildings in California, out of 40,029 buildings citywide. Yavneh Hebrew Academy's ENERGY STAR score of 62 compares with an average of 74 across the 2,016 that report a score; it scores higher than 25% of them and lower than 73%. Its site EUI of 26.3 kBtu/ft² is about 24% below the average of 34.6 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 1.9 kgCO₂e/ft² is roughly in line with the group average of 2.0 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 69,000 sq ft, it is about half of the average floor area of 129,123 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1910, 66 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.
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 62 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 62 means the building performs better than about 62% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 62 falls in band C — below median (55–69). It sits 13 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. Yavneh Hebrew Academy's 26.3 kBtu/ft² across 69,000 sq ft works out to about 1.8 billion Btu (532 MWh-equivalent) in 2018. The disclosure also reports 533,849 kWh of electricity for the year.
Which law requires Yavneh Hebrew Academy to report its energy use?
Yavneh Hebrew Academy 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.
