Its ENERGY STAR score went from 86 in 2020 to 99 in 2024 (+13 points); its best year on file was 2023, at 99. Site EUI moved from 86.8 kBtu/ft² (2020) to 53.6 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 38% decrease.

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 99 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 99 means the building performs better than about 99% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 99 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. Schuyler Arms's 53.6 kBtu/ft² across 77,757 sq ft works out to about 4.2 billion Btu (1,221 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 76.6 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 265,088 kWh of electricity, 32,616 therms of natural gas and 2,393 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires Schuyler Arms to report its energy use?
