How has 100 Bellevue Place's energy performance changed over time?

BuildingCensus holds 9 Chicago disclosures for 100 Bellevue Place, covering report years 2015–2023. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 66 in 2015 to 95 in 2023 (+29 points). Site EUI moved from 87.0 kBtu/ft² (2015) to 64.9 kBtu/ft² (2023), a 25% decrease. Reported emissions went from 2,691 tCO₂e to 1,563 tCO₂e over the same span (down 42%).

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 Chicago, 35% 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. 100 Bellevue Place's 64.9 kBtu/ft² across 350,600 sq ft works out to about 22.8 billion Btu (6,669 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. Its source EUI of 88.5 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 1,197,150 kWh of electricity, 186,672 therms of natural gas and 7,443 thousand gallons of water for the year.

Which law requires 100 Bellevue Place to report its energy use?

The record shown here is the report-year 2023 disclosure (source record chicago:238850:2023). Covered buildings that fail to benchmark and report face fines of up to $100 plus $25 per day of violation under the ordinance.
