Its ENERGY STAR score went from 98 in 2016 to 92 in 2022 (-6 points); its best year on file was 2018, at 99. Site EUI moved from 24.4 kBtu/ft² (2016) to 35.3 kBtu/ft² (2022), an 45% increase. Reported emissions went from 310 tCO₂e to 210 tCO₂e over the same span (down 32%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 92 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 92 means the building performs better than about 92% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 92 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. 10426 S MICHIGAN AVE's 35.3 kBtu/ft² across 47,039 sq ft works out to about 1.7 billion Btu (487 MWh-equivalent) in 2022. Its source EUI of 94.7 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 454,356 kWh of electricity and 1,100 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires 10426 S MICHIGAN AVE to report its energy use?
