How does American Public Health Association compare with other office buildings in Washington, DC?
The latest disclosures cover 899 office buildings in Washington, DC, out of 6,870 buildings citywide. American Public Health Association's ENERGY STAR score of 84 compares with an average of 70 across the 774 that report a score; it scores higher than 75% of them and lower than 23%. Its site EUI of 44.8 kBtu/ft² is about 19% 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 5.1 kgCO₂e/ft² is roughly in line with the group average of 5.0 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 62,466 sq ft, it is about 71% below the average floor area of 216,135 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1999, 25 years later than the group's average year built (1974). 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.
How has American Public Health Association's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 4 Washington, DC disclosures for American Public Health Association, covering report years 2013–2016. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 35 in 2014 to 84 in 2016 (+49 points). Site EUI moved from 81.4 kBtu/ft² (2014) to 44.8 kBtu/ft² (2016), a 45% decrease. Reported emissions went from 581 tCO₂e to 321 tCO₂e over the same span (down 45%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 84 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 84 means the building performs better than about 84% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 84 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 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. American Public Health Association's 44.8 kBtu/ft² across 62,466 sq ft works out to about 2.8 billion Btu (820 MWh-equivalent) in 2016. Its source EUI of 140.5 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 819,474 kWh of electricity, 0 therms of natural gas and 277 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires American Public Health Association to report its energy use?
American Public Health Association 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 2016 disclosure (source record dc:PM3989425:2016). 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.
