How has 1320 S University LLC's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 Ann Arbor disclosures for 1320 S University LLC, covering report years 2021–2023. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 93 in 2021 to 95 in 2023 (+2 points). Site EUI moved from 59.5 kBtu/ft² (2021) to 54.8 kBtu/ft² (2023), a 8% decrease. Reported emissions went from 127 tCO₂e to 122 tCO₂e over the same span (down 4%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 95 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 95 means the building performs better than about 95% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 95 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 Ann Arbor, 57% 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. 1320 S University LLC's 54.8 kBtu/ft² across 33,057 sq ft works out to about 1.8 billion Btu (531 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. Its source EUI of 75.1 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 876 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires 1320 S University LLC to report its energy use?
1320 S University LLC reports under the Benchmarking and Disclosure Ordinance (2021), the legal basis of Ann Arbor's Energy & Water Benchmarking program, which publishes each covered building's annual benchmarking results. The record shown here is the report-year 2023 disclosure (source record ann_arbor:A2BLD-00232:2023).
