How has The Sheridan Garage Condo's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 Washington, DC disclosures for The Sheridan Garage Condo, covering report years 2022–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score was 99 in both 2022 and 2024. Site EUI moved from 28.5 kBtu/ft² (2022) to 27.0 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 5% decrease. Reported emissions went from 102 tCO₂e to 94 tCO₂e over the same span (down 7%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 99 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 99 means the building performs better than about 99% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 99 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 Sheridan Garage Condo's 27.0 kBtu/ft² across 42,599 sq ft works out to about 1.2 billion Btu (337 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 67.8 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 281,447 kWh of electricity, 1,910 therms of natural gas and 945 thousand gallons of water for the year.
