What does an ENERGY STAR score of 26 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 26 means the building performs better than about 26% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 26 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 49 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. Lakeview East Cooperative's 95.3 kBtu/ft² across 234,695 sq ft works out to about 22.4 billion Btu (6,555 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. Its source EUI of 128.3 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 1,111,292 kWh of electricity and 185,668 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Lakeview East Cooperative to report its energy use?
Lakeview East Cooperative 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.
