Hotel Julian's ENERGY STAR score of 98 compares with an average of 74 across the 1,525 that report a score; it scores higher than 85% of them and lower than 12%. Its site EUI of 28.5 kBtu/ft² is about 57% 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 1.7 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 57% below the group average of 4.0 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 57,634 sq ft, it is about 66% below the average floor area of 167,786 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1922, 66 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 Julian's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 6 California disclosures for Hotel Julian, covering report years 2019–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 74 in 2019 to 98 in 2024 (+24 points); its best year on file was 2023, at 100. Site EUI moved from 55.0 kBtu/ft² (2019) to 28.5 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 48% decrease. Reported emissions went from 181 tCO₂e to 98 tCO₂e over the same span (down 46%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 98 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 98 means the building performs better than about 98% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 98 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 Julian's 28.5 kBtu/ft² across 57,634 sq ft works out to about 1.6 billion Btu (481 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 201,031 kWh of electricity and 9,954 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Hotel Julian to report its energy use?
Hotel Julian 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:10020652:2024). 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.
