Roman Catholic High School's ENERGY STAR score of 75 compares with an average of 42 across the 281 that report a score; it scores higher than 84% of them and lower than 15%. Its site EUI of 57.5 kBtu/ft² is about 19% below the average of 70.6 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group.
At 44,794 sq ft, it is about 57% below the average floor area of 103,884 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1890, 60 years earlier than the group's average year built (1950). 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.
How has Roman Catholic High School's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 6 Philadelphia disclosures for Roman Catholic High School, covering report years 2019–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 68 in 2019 to 75 in 2024 (+7 points); its best year on file was 2020, at 82. Site EUI moved from 73.0 kBtu/ft² (2019) to 57.5 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 21% decrease. Reported emissions went from 386 tCO₂e to 294 tCO₂e over the same span (down 24%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 75 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 75 means the building performs better than about 75% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 75 falls in band B — above median (70–84). 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 Philadelphia, 35% 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. Roman Catholic High School's 57.5 kBtu/ft² across 44,794 sq ft works out to about 2.6 billion Btu (755 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 97.4 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 480,688 kWh of electricity, 28,162 therms of natural gas and 363 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires Roman Catholic High School to report its energy use?
Roman Catholic High School reports under Phila. Code §9-3402 / Building Energy Performance Program, the legal basis of Philadelphia's Building Energy Benchmarking program, which publishes each covered building's annual benchmarking results.
