Its site EUI of 106.3 kBtu/ft² is about 62% 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 6.3 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 58% above the group average of 4.0 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 495,138 sq ft, it is about 195% above the average floor area of 167,786 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1999, 11 years later 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 36 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 36 means the building performs better than about 36% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 36 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 39 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. Montage Laguna Beach's 106.3 kBtu/ft² across 495,138 sq ft works out to about 52.6 billion Btu (15,425 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 6,688,234 kWh of electricity and 302,971 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Montage Laguna Beach to report its energy use?
Montage Laguna Beach 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:49204192:2024).
