How has 1246 Pratt LLC's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 8 Chicago disclosures for 1246 Pratt LLC, covering report years 2016–2023. Its ENERGY STAR score was 79 in both 2016 and 2023. Site EUI moved from 93.0 kBtu/ft² (2016) to 86.0 kBtu/ft² (2023), a 8% decrease. Reported emissions went from 496 tCO₂e to 408 tCO₂e over the same span (down 18%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 79 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 79 means the building performs better than about 79% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 79 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 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. 1246 Pratt LLC's 86.0 kBtu/ft² across 65,419 sq ft works out to about 5.6 billion Btu (1,649 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. Its source EUI of 124.1 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 370,126 kWh of electricity and 43,629 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires 1246 Pratt LLC to report its energy use?
1246 Pratt LLC reports under the Building Energy Use Benchmarking Ordinance, the legal basis of the Chicago Energy Benchmarking program, which publishes each covered building's annual benchmarking results. The record shown here is the report-year 2023 disclosure (source record chicago:105921:2023). Covered buildings that fail to benchmark and report face fines of up to $100 plus $25 per day of violation under the ordinance.
