How has Biltmore Apartments's energy performance changed over time?

Its ENERGY STAR score went from 90 in 2022 to 76 in 2024 (-14 points); its best year on file was 2022, at 90. Site EUI moved from 48.1 kBtu/ft² (2022) to 61.5 kBtu/ft² (2024), an 28% increase.

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 76 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 76 means the building performs better than about 76% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 76 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. Biltmore Apartments's 61.5 kBtu/ft² across 39,058 sq ft works out to about 2.4 billion Btu (704 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 89.0 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 160,027 kWh of electricity, 18,561 therms of natural gas and 1,150 thousand gallons of water for the year.
