What does an ENERGY STAR score of 14 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 14 means the building performs better than about 14% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 14 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 61 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. 6118 Sheridan Road Condominium Homeowners Association's 133.8 kBtu/ft² across 102,000 sq ft works out to about 13.6 billion Btu (4,000 MWh-equivalent) in 2023.

The disclosure also reports 608,503 kWh of electricity and 115,691 therms of natural gas for the year.
