How has Escuela De Guadalupe's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 Denver disclosures for Escuela De Guadalupe, covering report years 2021–2023. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 92 in 2021 to 90 in 2023 (-2 points); its best year on file was 2021, at 92. Site EUI moved from 41.3 kBtu/ft² (2021) to 41.9 kBtu/ft² (2023), an 1% increase. Reported emissions went from 119 tCO₂e to 116 tCO₂e over the same span (down 2%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 90 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 90 means the building performs better than about 90% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 90 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 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. Escuela De Guadalupe's 41.9 kBtu/ft² across 36,338 sq ft works out to about 1.5 billion Btu (446 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. The disclosure also reports 101,645 kWh of electricity and 11,770 therms of natural gas for the year.
