How does The Churchill Hotel compare with other hotel buildings in Washington, DC?
The latest disclosures cover 257 hotel buildings in Washington, DC, out of 6,870 buildings citywide. The Churchill Hotel's ENERGY STAR score of 88 compares with an average of 58 across the 251 that report a score; it scores higher than 86% of them and lower than 13%. Its site EUI of 66.5 kBtu/ft² is about 24% below the average of 87.6 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 5.6 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 19% below the group average of 6.9 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 116,503 sq ft, it is about half of the average floor area of 227,860 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1903, 71 years earlier than the group's average year built (1974). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 3,812 hotel buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 65 and a site EUI of 77.8 kBtu/ft².
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 88 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 88 means the building performs better than about 88% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 88 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. The Churchill Hotel's 66.5 kBtu/ft² across 116,503 sq ft works out to about 7.7 billion Btu (2,271 MWh-equivalent) in 2013. Its source EUI of 128.2 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 953,669 kWh of electricity, 44,981 therms of natural gas and 5,545 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires The Churchill Hotel to report its energy use?
The Churchill Hotel reports under the Clean and Affordable Energy Act / BEPS, the legal basis of Washington, DC's Building Energy Benchmarking program, which publishes each covered building's annual benchmarking results. The record shown here is the report-year 2013 disclosure (source record dc:PM3408958:2013). DC's Building Energy Performance Standards (BEPS) require buildings below the performance standard to improve over compliance cycles (the first ends December 31, 2026; later cycles run five years), with penalties for buildings that fail to meet their pathway.
