Its site EUI of 69.4 kBtu/ft² is roughly in line with the average of 65.6 kBtu/ft². Its emissions intensity of 4.3 kgCO₂e/ft² is roughly in line with the group average of 4.0 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 91,238 sq ft, it is about half of the average floor area of 167,786 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1980, 8 years earlier than the group's average year built (1988). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 3,812 hotel buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 65 and a site EUI of 77.8 kBtu/ft².
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 65 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 65 means the building performs better than about 65% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 65 falls in band C — below median (55–69). It sits 10 points below 75, the threshold for ENERGY STAR certification. In California, 65% 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. 500 W Broadway's 69.4 kBtu/ft² across 91,238 sq ft works out to about 6.3 billion Btu (1,856 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 1,008,129 kWh of electricity for the year.
