How has The Valley Vista Condominium's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 5 Washington, DC disclosures for The Valley Vista Condominium, covering report years 2013–2017. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 75 in 2014 to 97 in 2017 (+22 points). Site EUI moved from 67.1 kBtu/ft² (2014) to 46.3 kBtu/ft² (2017), a 31% decrease. Reported emissions went from 823 tCO₂e to 503 tCO₂e over the same span (down 39%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 97 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 97 means the building performs better than about 97% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 97 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 Valley Vista Condominium's 46.3 kBtu/ft² across 168,000 sq ft works out to about 7.8 billion Btu (2,280 MWh-equivalent) in 2017. Its source EUI of 68.0 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 455,717 kWh of electricity, 62,296 therms of natural gas and 4,823 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires The Valley Vista Condominium to report its energy use?
