How has 415 Condominium Association's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 8 Chicago disclosures for 415 Condominium Association, covering report years 2016–2023. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 88 in 2016 to 93 in 2023 (+5 points).

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 93 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 93 means the building performs better than about 93% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 93 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. 415 Condominium Association's 60.9 kBtu/ft² across 140,000 sq ft works out to about 8.5 billion Btu (2,499 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. Its source EUI of 80.2 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 380,875 kWh of electricity and 72,242 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires 415 Condominium Association to report its energy use?
415 Condominium Association 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:112437:2023). Covered buildings that fail to benchmark and report face fines of up to $100 plus $25 per day of violation under the ordinance.
