How has Lyndale Place's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 7 Chicago disclosures for Lyndale Place, covering report years 2016–2022. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 93 in 2016 to 98 in 2022 (+5 points); its best year on file was 2018, at 98. Site EUI moved from 77.7 kBtu/ft² (2016) to 44.9 kBtu/ft² (2022), a 42% decrease. Reported emissions went from 346 tCO₂e to 292 tCO₂e over the same span (down 16%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 98 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 98 means the building performs better than about 98% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 98 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. Lyndale Place's 44.9 kBtu/ft² across 83,620 sq ft works out to about 3.8 billion Btu (1,100 MWh-equivalent) in 2022. Its source EUI of 71.9 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 346,503 kWh of electricity and 25,694 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Lyndale Place to report its energy use?
Lyndale 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 2022 disclosure (source record chicago:252297:2022). Covered buildings that fail to benchmark and report face fines of up to $100 plus $25 per day of violation under the ordinance.
