How has Banneker Place 3716 ELY PLACE SE's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 2 Washington, DC disclosures for Banneker Place 3716 ELY PLACE SE, covering report years 2022–2023. Its ENERGY STAR score was 98 in both 2022 and 2023.

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 98 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 98 means the building performs better than about 98% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 98 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. Banneker Place 3716 ELY PLACE SE's 23.8 kBtu/ft² across 20,773 sq ft works out to about 0.5 billion Btu (145 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. Its source EUI of 58.3 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 115,835 kWh of electricity, 1,001 therms of natural gas and 1,534 thousand gallons of water for the year.
