Best Western Plus Black Oak's ENERGY STAR score of 100 compares with an average of 74 across the 1,525 that report a score; it scores higher than 91% of them. Its site EUI of 18.0 kBtu/ft² is about 73% below 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 1.2 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 71% below the group average of 4.0 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 76,000 sq ft, it is about half of the average floor area of 167,786 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1961, 27 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 100 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: 100 is the top of the scale. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 100 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. Best Western Plus Black Oak's 18.0 kBtu/ft² across 76,000 sq ft works out to about 1.4 billion Btu (401 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 387,781 kWh of electricity for the year.
