At 125,110 sq ft, it is about 30% below the average floor area of 179,276 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1993, 31 years later than the group's average year built (1962). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 795 laboratory buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 29 and a site EUI of 231.7 kBtu/ft².
How has 2430 N Halsted's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 9 Chicago disclosures for 2430 N Halsted, covering report years 2015–2023. Site EUI moved from 622.3 kBtu/ft² (2015) to 220.2 kBtu/ft² (2023), a 65% decrease. Reported emissions went from 7,178 tCO₂e to 2,435 tCO₂e over the same span (down 66%).
What does a site EUI of 220.2 kBtu/ft² mean?
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. 2430 N Halsted's 220.2 kBtu/ft² across 125,110 sq ft works out to about 27.5 billion Btu (8,074 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. Its source EUI of 387.8 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 3,279,854 kWh of electricity, 163,625 therms of natural gas and 2,669 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires 2430 N Halsted to report its energy use?
2430 N Halsted 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:129459:2023). Covered buildings that fail to benchmark and report face fines of up to $100 plus $25 per day of violation under the ordinance.
