What does an ENERGY STAR score of 94 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 94 means the building performs better than about 94% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 94 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. Hampton Inn &Amp; Suites San Jose Airport's 23.1 kBtu/ft² across 96,879 sq ft works out to about 2.2 billion Btu (656 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 671,808 kWh of electricity for the year.

Which law requires Hampton Inn &Amp; Suites San Jose Airport to report its energy use?
