How does Rosedale 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. Rosedale Elementary's ENERGY STAR score of 70 compares with an average of 58 across the 189 that report a score; it scores higher than 67% of them and lower than 31%. Its site EUI of 26.3 kBtu/ft² is about 58% below the average of 62.9 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group.
At 43,168 sq ft, it is about half of the average floor area of 92,016 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1924, 42 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 70 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 70 means the building performs better than about 70% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 70 falls in band B — above median (70–84). It sits 5 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. Rosedale Elementary's 26.3 kBtu/ft² across 43,168 sq ft works out to about 1.1 billion Btu (333 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. The disclosure also reports 245,509 kWh of electricity and 2,982 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Rosedale Elementary to report its energy use?
Rosedale Elementary reports under the Energize Denver Building Performance Policy, the legal basis of Denver's Energize Denver Benchmarking program, which publishes each covered building's annual benchmarking results. The record shown here is the report-year 2023 disclosure (source record denver:3825:2023). Energize Denver sets energy-use (EUI) targets for buildings of 25,000+ sq ft — for most buildings an interim target in 2028 and a final target in 2032 — with civil penalties of roughly $0.15–0.35 per kBtu over target for non-compliance.
