How has Christian Media Corporation's energy performance changed over time?

Its ENERGY STAR score went from 100 in 2017 to 88 in 2018 (-12 points); its best year on file was 2017, at 100. Site EUI moved from 17.9 kBtu/ft² (2017) to 35.3 kBtu/ft² (2018), an 97% increase. Reported emissions went from 97 tCO₂e to 176 tCO₂e over the same span (up 82%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 88 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 88 means the building performs better than about 88% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 88 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. Christian Media Corporation's 35.3 kBtu/ft² across 67,199 sq ft works out to about 2.4 billion Btu (695 MWh-equivalent) in 2018. Its source EUI of 64.3 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 305,569 kWh of electricity, 13,328 therms of natural gas and 747 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires Christian Media Corporation to report its energy use?
