How has St. Paul's College's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 Washington, DC disclosures for St. Paul's College, covering report years 2013–2015. Site EUI moved from 67.2 kBtu/ft² (2013) to 62.0 kBtu/ft² (2015), a 8% decrease. Reported emissions went from 663 tCO₂e to 607 tCO₂e over the same span (down 8%).
What does a site EUI of 62.0 kBtu/ft² mean?
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. St. Paul's College's 62.0 kBtu/ft² across 113,006 sq ft works out to about 7 billion Btu (2,053 MWh-equivalent) in 2015. Its source EUI of 118.8 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 851,768 kWh of electricity, 40,991 therms of natural gas and 746 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires St. Paul's College to report its energy use?
