How has 2300 - 2308 41st ST NW's energy performance changed over time?

BuildingCensus holds 11 Washington, DC disclosures for 2300 - 2308 41st ST NW, covering report years 2013, 2014, 2015, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 43 in 2014 to 37 in 2024 (-6 points); its best year on file was 2017, at 59. Site EUI moved from 68.8 kBtu/ft² (2013) to 71.2 kBtu/ft² (2024), an 3% increase. Reported emissions went from 277 tCO₂e to 233 tCO₂e over the same span (down 16%).

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 37 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 37 means the building performs better than about 37% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 37 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 38 points below 75, the threshold for ENERGY STAR certification. In Washington, DC, 47% 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. 2300 - 2308 41st ST NW's 71.2 kBtu/ft² across 55,000 sq ft works out to about 3.9 billion Btu (1,148 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 104.3 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 272,092 kWh of electricity, 29,900 therms of natural gas and 1,313 thousand gallons of water for the year.

Which law requires 2300 - 2308 41st ST NW to report its energy use?

2300 - 2308 41st ST NW reports under the Clean and Affordable Energy Act / BEPS, the legal basis of Washington, DC's 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 dc:PM3994325:2024). DC's Building Energy Performance Standards (BEPS) require buildings below the performance standard to improve over compliance cycles (the first ends December 31, 2026; later cycles run five years), with penalties for buildings that fail to meet their pathway.
