Its site EUI of 42.7 kBtu/ft² is about 23% below the average of 55.6 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 4.6 kgCO₂e/ft² is roughly in line with the group average of 5.0 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 422,227 sq ft, it is about twice the average floor area of 216,135 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1987, 13 years later than the group's average year built (1974).

How has 901 D Street's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 5 Washington, DC disclosures for 901 D Street, covering report years 2012–2016. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 85 in 2012 to 97 in 2016 (+12 points). Site EUI moved from 66.0 kBtu/ft² (2012) to 42.7 kBtu/ft² (2016), a 35% decrease. Reported emissions went from 3,742 tCO₂e to 1,943 tCO₂e over the same span (down 48%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 97 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 97 means the building performs better than about 97% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 97 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 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. 901 D Street's 42.7 kBtu/ft² across 422,227 sq ft works out to about 18 billion Btu (5,284 MWh-equivalent) in 2016. Its source EUI of 124.1 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 4,692,591 kWh of electricity, 20,112 therms of natural gas and 4,380 thousand gallons of water for the year.
