How has Hyde Park Shopping Center's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 9 Chicago disclosures for Hyde Park Shopping Center, covering report years 2015–2023. Site EUI moved from 185.4 kBtu/ft² (2015) to 140.8 kBtu/ft² (2023), a 24% decrease. Reported emissions went from 2,900 tCO₂e to 712 tCO₂e over the same span (down 75%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 98 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 98 means the building performs better than about 98% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 98 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. Hyde Park Shopping Center's 140.8 kBtu/ft² across 71,125 sq ft works out to about 10 billion Btu (2,935 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. Its source EUI of 198.8 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 607,743 kWh of electricity and 79,375 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Hyde Park Shopping Center to report its energy use?
