How has (IL0606) - 3180 N LSD (3180 N. Lake Shore Drive)'s energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 9 Chicago disclosures for (IL0606) - 3180 N LSD (3180 N. Lake Shore Drive), covering report years 2015–2023. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 57 in 2015 to 77 in 2023 (+20 points). Site EUI moved from 87.2 kBtu/ft² (2015) to 69.2 kBtu/ft² (2023), a 21% decrease. Reported emissions went from 2,415 tCO₂e to 1,777 tCO₂e over the same span (down 26%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 77 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 77 means the building performs better than about 77% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 77 falls in band B — above median (70–84). 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. (IL0606) - 3180 N LSD (3180 N. Lake Shore Drive)'s 69.2 kBtu/ft² across 350,000 sq ft works out to about 24.2 billion Btu (7,098 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. Its source EUI of 100.9 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 1,657,895 kWh of electricity and 185,577 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires (IL0606) - 3180 N LSD (3180 N. Lake Shore Drive) to report its energy use?
(IL0606) - 3180 N LSD (3180 N. Lake Shore Drive) 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:251343:2023). Covered buildings that fail to benchmark and report face fines of up to $100 plus $25 per day of violation under the ordinance.
