How has The Graham Georgetown Hotel's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 Washington, DC disclosures for The Graham Georgetown Hotel, covering report years 2022–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 100 in 2022 to 90 in 2024 (-10 points); its best year on file was 2022, at 100. Site EUI moved from 61.1 kBtu/ft² (2022) to 64.5 kBtu/ft² (2024), an 6% increase. Reported emissions went from 162 tCO₂e to 225 tCO₂e over the same span (up 39%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 90 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 90 means the building performs better than about 90% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 90 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 Graham Georgetown Hotel's 64.5 kBtu/ft² across 49,153 sq ft works out to about 3.2 billion Btu (929 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 126.3 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 482,235 kWh of electricity, 15,226 therms of natural gas and 1,687 thousand gallons of water for the year.
