How has The Cooperative at 1477's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 2 Washington, DC disclosures for The Cooperative at 1477, covering report years 2023–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 88 in 2023 to 94 in 2024 (+6 points).

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 94 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 94 means the building performs better than about 94% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 94 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 Cooperative at 1477's 45.0 kBtu/ft² across 28,678 sq ft works out to about 1.3 billion Btu (378 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 78.8 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 151,627 kWh of electricity, 7,731 therms of natural gas and 1,260 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires The Cooperative at 1477 to report its energy use?
