How does Angel'S Camp compare with other hotel buildings in California?

The latest disclosures cover 1,599 hotel buildings in California, out of 40,029 buildings citywide. Angel'S Camp's ENERGY STAR score of 85 compares with an average of 74 across the 1,525 that report a score; it scores higher than 53% of them and lower than 45%. Its site EUI of 65.1 kBtu/ft² is roughly in line with the average of 65.6 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 4.1 kgCO₂e/ft² is roughly in line with the group average of 4.0 kgCO₂e/ft².

At 209,500 sq ft, it is about 25% above the average floor area of 167,786 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1998, 10 years later 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.

How has Angel'S Camp's energy performance changed over time?

Site EUI moved from 66.4 kBtu/ft² (2018) to 65.1 kBtu/ft² (2019), a 2% decrease. Reported emissions went from 889 tCO₂e to 850 tCO₂e over the same span (down 4%).

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 85 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 85 means the building performs better than about 85% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 85 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 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. Angel'S Camp's 65.1 kBtu/ft² across 209,500 sq ft works out to about 13.6 billion Btu (3,997 MWh-equivalent) in 2019. The disclosure also reports 766,495 kWh of electricity for the year.

Which law requires Angel'S Camp to report its energy use?

Angel'S Camp reports under AB 802 (Public Resources Code §25402.10), the legal basis of California's Building Energy Benchmarking Program (statewide), which publishes each covered building's annual benchmarking results. The record shown here is the report-year 2019 disclosure (source record california:2226325:2019). AB 802 requires every California commercial building over 50,000 sq ft to report energy use to the CEC annually; the CEC publicly discloses the results statewide.
