What does an ENERGY STAR score of 95 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 95 means the building performs better than about 95% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 95 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. CUMBERLAND CROSSING CONDOMINIUM's 62.0 kBtu/ft² across 131,929 sq ft works out to about 8.2 billion Btu (2,397 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. Its source EUI of 87.9 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 505,054 kWh of electricity and 64,506 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires CUMBERLAND CROSSING CONDOMINIUM to report its energy use?
CUMBERLAND CROSSING CONDOMINIUM 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:112078:2023).
