How has PARKWAY HOUSE's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 Washington, DC disclosures for PARKWAY HOUSE, covering report years 2022–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 74 in 2022 to 87 in 2024 (+13 points).

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 87 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 87 means the building performs better than about 87% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 87 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. PARKWAY HOUSE's 33.7 kBtu/ft² across 110,387 sq ft works out to about 3.7 billion Btu (1,090 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 68.0 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 605,687 kWh of electricity, 13,313 therms of natural gas and 7,052 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires PARKWAY HOUSE to report its energy use?
