How has Lake Parc Place's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 9 Chicago disclosures for Lake Parc Place, covering report years 2015–2023. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 73 in 2015 to 58 in 2023 (-15 points); its best year on file was 2017, at 88. Site EUI moved from 100.3 kBtu/ft² (2015) to 103.5 kBtu/ft² (2023), an 3% increase. Reported emissions went from 1,950 tCO₂e to 1,828 tCO₂e over the same span (down 6%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 58 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 58 means the building performs better than about 58% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 58 falls in band C — below median (55–69). It sits 17 points below 75, the threshold for ENERGY STAR certification. 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. Lake Parc Place's 103.5 kBtu/ft² across 291,997 sq ft works out to about 30.2 billion Btu (8,857 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. Its source EUI of 124.1 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 754,892 kWh of electricity and 276,388 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Lake Parc Place to report its energy use?
Lake Parc Place 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:250072:2023). Covered buildings that fail to benchmark and report face fines of up to $100 plus $25 per day of violation under the ordinance.
