Its ENERGY STAR score went from 95 in 2020 to 25 in 2023 (-70 points); its best year on file was 2020, at 95. Site EUI moved from 48.2 kBtu/ft² (2020) to 125.7 kBtu/ft² (2023), an 161% increase. Reported emissions went from 230 tCO₂e to 790 tCO₂e over the same span (up 244%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 25 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 25 means the building performs better than about 25% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 25 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 50 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. 811 W Fulton's 125.7 kBtu/ft² across 64,877 sq ft works out to about 8.2 billion Btu (2,390 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. Its source EUI of 242.8 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 1,204,118 kWh of electricity, 40,467 therms of natural gas and 1 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires 811 W Fulton to report its energy use?
811 W Fulton 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.
