What does a site EUI of 54.5 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. Halsted Pershing's 54.5 kBtu/ft² across 104,008 sq ft works out to about 5.7 billion Btu (1,661 MWh-equivalent) in 2015. Its source EUI of 100.2 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 626,559 kWh of electricity and 35,300 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Halsted Pershing to report its energy use?
Halsted Pershing 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 2015 disclosure (source record chicago:175992:2015).
