What does an ENERGY STAR score of 44 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 44 means the building performs better than about 44% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 44 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 31 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. LaSalle Terrace Condominium Association's 75.1 kBtu/ft² across 151,000 sq ft works out to about 11.3 billion Btu (3,323 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. Its source EUI of 121.1 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 1,070,036 kWh of electricity and 76,845 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires LaSalle Terrace Condominium Association to report its energy use?
