How has Holiday Inn Oceanside's energy performance changed over time?

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 99 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 99 means the building performs better than about 99% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 99 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. Holiday Inn Oceanside's 28.0 kBtu/ft² across 66,000 sq ft works out to about 1.8 billion Btu (542 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 545,857 kWh of electricity for the year.
Which law requires Holiday Inn Oceanside to report its energy use?
Holiday Inn Oceanside 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 2024 disclosure (source record california:6338426:2024).
