How has 218 Irving Park's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 8 Chicago disclosures for 218 Irving Park, covering report years 2016–2023. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 78 in 2016 to 86 in 2023 (+8 points); its best year on file was 2018, at 88. Site EUI moved from 48.3 kBtu/ft² (2016) to 47.1 kBtu/ft² (2023), a 2% decrease. Reported emissions went from 927 tCO₂e to 372 tCO₂e over the same span (down 60%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 86 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 86 means the building performs better than about 86% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 86 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. 218 Irving Park's 47.1 kBtu/ft² across 84,526 sq ft works out to about 4 billion Btu (1,167 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. Its source EUI of 87.7 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 541,173 kWh of electricity and 21,361 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires 218 Irving Park to report its energy use?

The record shown here is the report-year 2023 disclosure (source record chicago:140247:2023).
