Its ENERGY STAR score went from 99 in 2021 to 96 in 2024 (-3 points); its best year on file was 2023, at 100. Site EUI moved from 20.3 kBtu/ft² (2021) to 38.3 kBtu/ft² (2024), an 89% increase.

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. PROGRESSIVE NATIONAL BAPTIST CONVENTION INC's 38.3 kBtu/ft² across 48,587 sq ft works out to about 1.9 billion Btu (545 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 52.0 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 96,294 kWh of electricity, 15,300 therms of natural gas and 56 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires PROGRESSIVE NATIONAL BAPTIST CONVENTION INC to report its energy use?
