How has Lincoln Common A2's energy performance changed over time?

Its ENERGY STAR score went from 92 in 2022 to 85 in 2023 (-7 points); its best year on file was 2022, at 92. Site EUI moved from 40.6 kBtu/ft² (2020) to 32.4 kBtu/ft² (2023), a 20% decrease. Reported emissions went from 1,454 tCO₂e to 1,287 tCO₂e over the same span (down 11%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 85 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 85 means the building performs better than about 85% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 85 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. Lincoln Common A2's 32.4 kBtu/ft² across 284,297 sq ft works out to about 9.2 billion Btu (2,700 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. Its source EUI of 90.6 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 2,696,566 kWh of electricity for the year.
Which law requires Lincoln Common A2 to report its energy use?
Lincoln Common A2 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:256553:2023).
