How does ALSCO compare with other buildings in Washington, DC?
The latest disclosures cover 6,870 benchmarked buildings in Washington, DC. Its site EUI of 114.7 kBtu/ft² is about 82% above the average of 63.1 kBtu/ft² — it uses more energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 9.5 kgCO₂e/ft² is about twice the group average of 5.0 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 79,022 sq ft, it is about half of the average floor area of 161,007 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1940, 26 years earlier than the group's average year built (1966). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 2,372 manufacturing/industrial plant buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 67 and a site EUI of 126.3 kBtu/ft².
How has ALSCO's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 Washington, DC disclosures for ALSCO, covering report years 2013–2015. Site EUI moved from 105.2 kBtu/ft² (2013) to 114.7 kBtu/ft² (2015), an 9% increase. Reported emissions went from 786 tCO₂e to 751 tCO₂e over the same span (down 4%).
What does a site EUI of 114.7 kBtu/ft² mean?
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. ALSCO's 114.7 kBtu/ft² across 79,022 sq ft works out to about 9.1 billion Btu (2,656 MWh-equivalent) in 2015. Its source EUI of 236.1 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 1,281,273 kWh of electricity, 46,942 therms of natural gas and 39,790 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires ALSCO to report its energy use?
ALSCO 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 2015 disclosure (source record dc:PM4372907:2015). 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.
