Hotel Zeppelin's ENERGY STAR score of 84 compares with an average of 74 across the 1,525 that report a score; it scores higher than 51% of them and lower than 47%. Its site EUI of 88.0 kBtu/ft² is about 34% above the average of 65.6 kBtu/ft² — it uses more energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 5.2 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 29% above the group average of 4.0 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 57,159 sq ft, it is about 66% below the average floor area of 167,786 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1913, 75 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 Zeppelin's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 California disclosures for Hotel Zeppelin, covering report years 2022–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 88 in 2022 to 84 in 2024 (-4 points); its best year on file was 2022, at 88. Site EUI moved from 57.2 kBtu/ft² (2022) to 88.0 kBtu/ft² (2024), an 54% increase. Reported emissions went from 324 tCO₂e to 295 tCO₂e over the same span (down 9%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 84 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 84 means the building performs better than about 84% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 84 falls in band B — above median (70–84). 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 Zeppelin's 88.0 kBtu/ft² across 57,159 sq ft works out to about 5 billion Btu (1,474 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 598,645 kWh of electricity and 29,940 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Hotel Zeppelin to report its energy use?
Hotel Zeppelin 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:26578526:2024). 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.
