What does a site EUI of 140.4 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. HHCS ICRC's 140.4 kBtu/ft² across 70,455 sq ft works out to about 9.9 billion Btu (2,899 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. Its source EUI of 214.8 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 794,562 kWh of electricity and 71,842 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires HHCS ICRC to report its energy use?
HHCS ICRC 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.
