Lincoln Elementary's ENERGY STAR score of 57 compares with an average of 58 across the 189 that report a score; it scores higher than 43% of them and lower than 57%. Its site EUI of 67.2 kBtu/ft² is roughly in line with the average of 62.9 kBtu/ft².
At 57,362 sq ft, it is about 38% below the average floor area of 92,016 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1904, 62 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 57 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 57 means the building performs better than about 57% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 57 falls in band C — below median (55–69). It sits 18 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. Lincoln Elementary's 67.2 kBtu/ft² across 57,362 sq ft works out to about 3.9 billion Btu (1,130 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. The disclosure also reports 231,020 kWh of electricity and 30,650 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Lincoln Elementary to report its energy use?
