Casey Holding

How does Casey Holding compare with other office buildings in Montgomery County?

The latest disclosures cover 414 office buildings in Montgomery County, out of 1,766 buildings citywide. Casey Holding's ENERGY STAR score of 91 compares with an average of 63 across the 325 that report a score; it scores higher than 90% of them and lower than 8%. Its site EUI of 33.3 kBtu/ft² is about half of the average of 66.5 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group.

At 30,048 sq ft, it is about 77% below the average floor area of 132,356 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 2023, 36 years later than the group's average year built (1987). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 15,264 office buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 73 and a site EUI of 59.3 kBtu/ft².

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 91 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 91 means the building performs better than about 91% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 91 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 Montgomery County, 53% 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. Casey Holding's 33.3 kBtu/ft² across 30,048 sq ft works out to about 1 billion Btu (293 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 70.5 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 178,846 kWh of electricity and 3,915 therms of natural gas for the year.

Which law requires Casey Holding to report its energy use?

Casey Holding reports under the Benchmarking Law (Bill 2-14) / BEPS (Bill 16-21), the legal basis of Montgomery County's Commercial Building Energy Benchmarking program, which publishes each covered building's annual benchmarking results. The record shown here is the report-year 2024 disclosure (source record montgomery_county:60596093:2024). Montgomery County's BEPS (Bill 16-21; regulations approved in 2025) sets declining site-EUI standards for buildings of 25,000+ sq ft, with interim and then final standards later this decade and into the 2030s depending on building type.
