Its site EUI of 58.6 kBtu/ft² is about 17% below the average of 70.4 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 6.0 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 20% below the group average of 7.5 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 464,498 sq ft, it is roughly in line with the average floor area of 488,124 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1920, 36 years earlier than the group's average year built (1957). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 15,264 office buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 73 and a site EUI of 59.3 kBtu/ft².
How has 154-60 N LASALLE's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 10 Chicago disclosures for 154-60 N LASALLE, covering report years 2014–2023. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 78 in 2014 to 73 in 2023 (-5 points); its best year on file was 2017, at 82. Site EUI moved from 78.0 kBtu/ft² (2014) to 58.6 kBtu/ft² (2023), a 25% decrease. Reported emissions went from 4,484 tCO₂e to 2,766 tCO₂e over the same span (down 38%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 73 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 73 means the building performs better than about 73% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 73 falls in band B — above median (70–84). It sits 2 points below 75, the threshold for ENERGY STAR certification. 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. 154-60 N LASALLE's 58.6 kBtu/ft² across 464,498 sq ft works out to about 27.2 billion Btu (7,977 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. Its source EUI of 118.8 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 4,461,463 kWh of electricity and 119,787 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires 154-60 N LASALLE to report its energy use?
154-60 N LASALLE 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:101910:2023). Covered buildings that fail to benchmark and report face fines of up to $100 plus $25 per day of violation under the ordinance.
