What does a site EUI of 56.3 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. Del Prado's 56.3 kBtu/ft² across 238,232 sq ft works out to about 13.4 billion Btu (3,931 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. Its source EUI of 125.0 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 2,627,686 kWh of electricity and 44,476 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Del Prado to report its energy use?
Del Prado 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:182200:2023).
