How has Hotel Zetta's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 California disclosures for Hotel Zetta, covering report years 2022–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 30 in 2022 to 54 in 2024 (+24 points).

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 54 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 54 means the building performs better than about 54% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 54 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 21 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 Zetta's 93.5 kBtu/ft² across 105,905 sq ft works out to about 9.9 billion Btu (2,902 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 1,034,562 kWh of electricity and 63,484 therms of natural gas for the year.
