What does a site EUI of 46.5 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. 300 N Michigan's 46.5 kBtu/ft² across 433,000 sq ft works out to about 20.1 billion Btu (5,901 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. Its source EUI of 88.1 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 2,847,104 kWh of electricity and 104,407 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires 300 N Michigan to report its energy use?
300 N Michigan 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:156139:2023). Covered buildings that fail to benchmark and report face fines of up to $100 plus $25 per day of violation under the ordinance.
