Its site EUI of 35.4 kBtu/ft² is about half of 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 2.0 kgCO₂e/ft² is about half of the group average of 4.0 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 106,697 sq ft, it is about 36% below 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.
How has Hotel Americania's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 7 California disclosures for Hotel Americania, covering report years 2018–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 96 in 2018 to 100 in 2024 (+4 points); its best year on file was 2019, at 100. Site EUI moved from 62.4 kBtu/ft² (2018) to 35.4 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 43% decrease. Reported emissions went from 384 tCO₂e to 213 tCO₂e over the same span (down 44%).
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. Hotel Americania's 35.4 kBtu/ft² across 106,697 sq ft works out to about 3.8 billion Btu (1,107 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 270,836 kWh of electricity and 28,573 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Hotel Americania to report its energy use?
Hotel Americania 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:3495364:2024). 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.
