Its ENERGY STAR score went from 88 in 2021 to 83 in 2023 (-5 points); its best year on file was 2021, at 88. Site EUI moved from 20.5 kBtu/ft² (2021) to 24.2 kBtu/ft² (2023), an 18% increase. Reported emissions went from 52 tCO₂e to 62 tCO₂e over the same span (up 19%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 83 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 83 means the building performs better than about 83% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 83 falls in band B — above median (70–84). 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 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. Rw Supply And Design's 24.2 kBtu/ft² across 30,647 sq ft works out to about 0.7 billion Btu (217 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. The disclosure also reports 64,370 kWh of electricity and 5,226 therms of natural gas for the year.
