How has M Street Towers's energy performance changed over time?

Its ENERGY STAR score went from 98 in 2014 to 88 in 2024 (-10 points); its best year on file was 2014, at 98. Site EUI moved from 26.6 kBtu/ft² (2013) to 53.7 kBtu/ft² (2024), an 102% increase. Reported emissions went from 322 tCO₂e to 337 tCO₂e over the same span (up 5%).
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. M Street Towers's 53.7 kBtu/ft² across 91,991 sq ft works out to about 4.9 billion Btu (1,448 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 97.3 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 631,570 kWh of electricity, 27,813 therms of natural gas and 3,603 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires M Street Towers to report its energy use?
