The Georgetown's ENERGY STAR score of 87 compares with an average of 72 across the 1,618 that report a score; it scores higher than 63% of them and lower than 35%. Its site EUI of 46.9 kBtu/ft² is roughly in line with the average of 51.1 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 3.8 kgCO₂e/ft² is roughly in line with the group average of 3.8 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 82,286 sq ft, it is about 40% below the average floor area of 136,346 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1924, 41 years earlier than the group's average year built (1965). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 59,945 multifamily housing buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 70 and a site EUI of 59.0 kBtu/ft².
How has The Georgetown's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 Washington, DC disclosures for The Georgetown, covering report years 2013–2015. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 12 in 2013 to 87 in 2015 (+75 points). Site EUI moved from 77.0 kBtu/ft² (2013) to 46.9 kBtu/ft² (2015), a 39% decrease. Reported emissions went from 540 tCO₂e to 309 tCO₂e over the same span (down 43%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 87 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 87 means the building performs better than about 87% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 87 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 Georgetown's 46.9 kBtu/ft² across 82,286 sq ft works out to about 3.9 billion Btu (1,131 MWh-equivalent) in 2015. Its source EUI of 82.0 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 377,799 kWh of electricity, 25,692 therms of natural gas and 811 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires The Georgetown to report its energy use?
The Georgetown 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 2015 disclosure (source record dc:PM4528208:2015). 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.
