How has Foundry Lofts's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 Washington, DC disclosures for Foundry Lofts, covering report years 2015–2017. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 56 in 2015 to 52 in 2017 (-4 points); its best year on file was 2015, at 56. Site EUI moved from 49.3 kBtu/ft² (2015) to 42.2 kBtu/ft² (2017), a 14% decrease. Reported emissions went from 1,007 tCO₂e to 821 tCO₂e over the same span (down 18%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 52 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 52 means the building performs better than about 52% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 52 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 23 points below 75, the threshold for ENERGY STAR certification. 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. Foundry Lofts's 42.2 kBtu/ft² across 208,969 sq ft works out to about 8.8 billion Btu (2,584 MWh-equivalent) in 2017. Its source EUI of 105.4 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 1,789,407 kWh of electricity, 27,100 therms of natural gas and 4,698 thousand gallons of water for the year.
