How has CHINATOWN EAST CONDOMINIUMS's energy performance changed over time?

Its ENERGY STAR score went from 90 in 2022 to 95 in 2024 (+5 points); its best year on file was 2023, at 96. Site EUI moved from 39.8 kBtu/ft² (2022) to 39.0 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 2% decrease. Reported emissions went from 103 tCO₂e to 100 tCO₂e over the same span (down 3%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 95 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 95 means the building performs better than about 95% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 95 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. CHINATOWN EAST CONDOMINIUMS's 39.0 kBtu/ft² across 34,097 sq ft works out to about 1.3 billion Btu (390 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 77.0 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 207,001 kWh of electricity, 4,871 therms of natural gas and 2,050 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires CHINATOWN EAST CONDOMINIUMS to report its energy use?
