How has Newton Hall Condominium's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 2 Washington, DC disclosures for Newton Hall Condominium, covering report years 2022–2023. Its ENERGY STAR score was 96 in both 2022 and 2023. Site EUI moved from 25.9 kBtu/ft² (2022) to 23.8 kBtu/ft² (2023), a 8% decrease. Reported emissions went from 88 tCO₂e to 81 tCO₂e over the same span (down 8%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 96 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 96 means the building performs better than about 96% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 96 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. Newton Hall Condominium's 23.8 kBtu/ft² across 38,063 sq ft works out to about 0.9 billion Btu (265 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. Its source EUI of 65.5 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 258,337 kWh of electricity, 245 therms of natural gas and 1,238 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires Newton Hall Condominium to report its energy use?
