How has Lincoln Common D's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 5 Chicago disclosures for Lincoln Common D, covering report years 2019–2023. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 26 in 2022 to 40 in 2023 (+14 points). Site EUI moved from 79.8 kBtu/ft² (2020) to 86.9 kBtu/ft² (2023), an 9% increase. Reported emissions went from 431 tCO₂e to 700 tCO₂e over the same span (up 62%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 40 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 40 means the building performs better than about 40% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 40 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 35 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. Lincoln Common D's 86.9 kBtu/ft² across 57,566 sq ft works out to about 5 billion Btu (1,466 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. Its source EUI of 243.2 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 1,465,018 kWh of electricity and 21 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Lincoln Common D to report its energy use?
Lincoln Common D 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:256555:2023). Covered buildings that fail to benchmark and report face fines of up to $100 plus $25 per day of violation under the ordinance.
