How has Fullerton Parkway Towers's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 7 Chicago disclosures for Fullerton Parkway Towers, covering report years 2016–2022. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 87 in 2016 to 100 in 2022 (+13 points); its best year on file was 2021, at 100. Site EUI moved from 51.8 kBtu/ft² (2016) to 38.7 kBtu/ft² (2022), a 25% decrease. Reported emissions went from 969 tCO₂e to 579 tCO₂e over the same span (down 40%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 100 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: 100 is the top of the scale. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 100 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. Fullerton Parkway Towers's 38.7 kBtu/ft² across 230,377 sq ft works out to about 8.9 billion Btu (2,613 MWh-equivalent) in 2022. Its source EUI of 50.8 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 390,987 kWh of electricity and 75,885 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Fullerton Parkway Towers to report its energy use?
Fullerton Parkway Towers 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 2022 disclosure (source record chicago:164994:2022). Covered buildings that fail to benchmark and report face fines of up to $100 plus $25 per day of violation under the ordinance.
