How has Hotel Lombardy's energy performance changed over time?

Its ENERGY STAR score went from 1 in 2015 to 75 in 2024 (+74 points); its best year on file was 2020, at 94. Site EUI moved from 89.1 kBtu/ft² (2016) to 88.8 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 0% decrease.

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 75 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 75 means the building performs better than about 75% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 75 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. Hotel Lombardy's 88.8 kBtu/ft² across 86,824 sq ft works out to about 7.7 billion Btu (2,260 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 160.3 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 974,467 kWh of electricity, 43,875 therms of natural gas and 6,454 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires Hotel Lombardy to report its energy use?
