How has Staybridge Suites's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 Denver disclosures for Staybridge Suites, covering report years 2021–2023. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 48 in 2021 to 53 in 2023 (+5 points).

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 53 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 53 means the building performs better than about 53% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 53 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 22 points below 75, the threshold for ENERGY STAR certification. In Denver, 54% 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. Staybridge Suites's 61.4 kBtu/ft² across 72,928 sq ft works out to about 4.5 billion Btu (1,312 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. The disclosure also reports 843,300 kWh of electricity and 16,021 therms of natural gas for the year.
