Sheraton-RDA's ENERGY STAR score of 35 compares with an average of 50 across the 853 that report a score; it scores higher than 34% of them and lower than 64%. Its site EUI of 90.8 kBtu/ft² is roughly in line with the average of 94.3 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 6.9 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 11% below the group average of 7.8 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 1,176,318 sq ft, it is about 757% above the average floor area of 137,256 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1962, 13 years earlier than the group's average year built (1975). 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 35 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 35 means the building performs better than about 35% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 35 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 40 points below 75, the threshold for ENERGY STAR certification. In New York City, 43% 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-RDA's 90.8 kBtu/ft² across 1,176,318 sq ft works out to about 106.8 billion Btu (31,303 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 154.2 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 11,585,338 kWh of electricity and 673,339 therms of natural gas for the year.
