How has 1445 N State Parkway's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 9 Chicago disclosures for 1445 N State Parkway, covering report years 2015–2023. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 87 in 2015 to 75 in 2023 (-12 points); its best year on file was 2016, at 89. Site EUI moved from 73.8 kBtu/ft² (2015) to 66.4 kBtu/ft² (2023), a 10% decrease. Reported emissions went from 1,561 tCO₂e to 1,351 tCO₂e over the same span (down 13%).
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 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. 1445 N State Parkway's 66.4 kBtu/ft² across 285,000 sq ft works out to about 18.9 billion Btu (5,546 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. Its source EUI of 94.2 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 1,169,460 kWh of electricity and 149,314 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires 1445 N State Parkway to report its energy use?
1445 N State Parkway 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:251252:2023). Covered buildings that fail to benchmark and report face fines of up to $100 plus $25 per day of violation under the ordinance.
