How does College View Elementary compare with other K-12 school buildings in Denver?
The latest disclosures cover 192 K-12 school buildings in Denver, out of 3,287 buildings citywide. College View Elementary's ENERGY STAR score of 54 compares with an average of 58 across the 189 that report a score; it scores higher than 40% of them and lower than 59%. Its site EUI of 61.6 kBtu/ft² is roughly in line with the average of 62.9 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group.
At 51,746 sq ft, it is about 44% below the average floor area of 92,016 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1939, 27 years earlier than the group's average year built (1966). 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 54 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 54 means the building performs better than about 54% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 54 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 21 points below 75, the threshold for ENERGY STAR certification. In Denver, 54% 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. College View Elementary's 61.6 kBtu/ft² across 51,746 sq ft works out to about 3.2 billion Btu (934 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. The disclosure also reports 379,520 kWh of electricity and 18,890 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires College View Elementary to report its energy use?
