The Woodward's ENERGY STAR score of 75 compares with an average of 72 across the 1,618 that report a score; it scores higher than 44% of them and lower than 54%. Its site EUI of 61.3 kBtu/ft² is about 20% above the average of 51.1 kBtu/ft² — it uses more 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 82,738 sq ft, it is about 39% below the average floor area of 136,346 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1911, 54 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 Woodward's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 12 Washington, DC disclosures for The Woodward, covering report years 2013–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 25 in 2013 to 75 in 2024 (+50 points); its best year on file was 2023, at 78. Site EUI moved from 93.2 kBtu/ft² (2013) to 61.3 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 34% decrease. Reported emissions went from 415 tCO₂e to 315 tCO₂e over the same span (down 24%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 75 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 75 means the building performs better than about 75% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 75 falls in band B — above median (70–84). 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 Woodward's 61.3 kBtu/ft² across 82,738 sq ft works out to about 5.1 billion Btu (1,486 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 92.3 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 387,856 kWh of electricity, 37,450 therms of natural gas and 2,054 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires The Woodward to report its energy use?
The Woodward 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 2024 disclosure (source record dc:PM4376417:2024). 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.
