How has The Chesterfield Cooperative's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 6 Washington, DC disclosures for The Chesterfield Cooperative, covering report years 2019–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 74 in 2019 to 77 in 2024 (+3 points).

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 77 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 77 means the building performs better than about 77% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 77 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. The Chesterfield Cooperative's 56.0 kBtu/ft² across 78,238 sq ft works out to about 4.4 billion Btu (1,284 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 96.3 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 491,075 kWh of electricity, 27,075 therms of natural gas and 1,718 thousand gallons of water for the year.
