Riverbend (rv142)'s ENERGY STAR score of 83 compares with an average of 72 across the 1,618 that report a score; it scores higher than 56% of them and lower than 43%. Its site EUI of 74.3 kBtu/ft² is about 45% above the average of 51.1 kBtu/ft² — it uses more energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 4.2 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 11% above the group average of 3.8 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 82,286 sq ft, it is about 40% below the average floor area of 136,346 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1969, 4 years later than the group's average year built (1965). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 59,945 multifamily housing buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 70 and a site EUI of 59.0 kBtu/ft².
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 83 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 83 means the building performs better than about 83% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 83 falls in band B — above median (70–84). 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. Riverbend (rv142)'s 74.3 kBtu/ft² across 82,286 sq ft works out to about 6.1 billion Btu (1,792 MWh-equivalent) in 2021. Its source EUI of 87.2 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 127,196 kWh of electricity, 56,760 therms of natural gas and 6,021 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires Riverbend (rv142) to report its energy use?

The record shown here is the report-year 2021 disclosure (source record dc:PM4320234:2021).
