How has Reserve Condominium's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 Washington, DC disclosures for Reserve Condominium, covering report years 2022–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 96 in 2022 to 97 in 2024 (+1 points). Site EUI moved from 30.1 kBtu/ft² (2022) to 28.7 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 5% decrease. Reported emissions went from 147 tCO₂e to 137 tCO₂e over the same span (down 7%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 97 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 97 means the building performs better than about 97% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 97 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. Reserve Condominium's 28.7 kBtu/ft² across 54,400 sq ft works out to about 1.6 billion Btu (458 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 80.3 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 457,427 kWh of electricity, 0 therms of natural gas and 1,871 thousand gallons of water for the year.
