Its site EUI of 66.9 kBtu/ft² is roughly in line with the average of 65.6 kBtu/ft². Its emissions intensity of 4.2 kgCO₂e/ft² is roughly in line with the group average of 4.0 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 93,600 sq ft, it is about 44% 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.
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 73 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 73 means the building performs better than about 73% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 73 falls in band B — above median (70–84). It sits 2 points below 75, the threshold for ENERGY STAR certification. 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 San Francisco's 66.9 kBtu/ft² across 93,600 sq ft works out to about 6.3 billion Btu (1,835 MWh-equivalent) in 2018. The disclosure also reports 992,818 kWh of electricity and 28,708 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Hotel Zeppelin San Francisco to report its energy use?
