How has Sheraton Pasadena's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 2 California disclosures for Sheraton Pasadena, covering report years 2018, 2020. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 65 in 2018 to 98 in 2020 (+33 points). Reported emissions went from 701 tCO₂e to 342 tCO₂e over the same span (down 51%).
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. Sheraton Pasadena's 37.2 kBtu/ft² across 150,000 sq ft works out to about 5.6 billion Btu (1,635 MWh-equivalent) in 2020. The disclosure also reports 1,020,890 kWh of electricity and 20,994 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Sheraton Pasadena to report its energy use?
