Its ENERGY STAR score went from 90 in 2016 to 91 in 2023 (+1 points); its best year on file was 2021, at 94. Site EUI moved from 75.7 kBtu/ft² (2016) to 66.5 kBtu/ft² (2023), a 12% decrease.

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 91 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 91 means the building performs better than about 91% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 91 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. Reside on Clarendon's 66.5 kBtu/ft² across 62,388 sq ft works out to about 4.1 billion Btu (1,216 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. Its source EUI of 106.3 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 381,996 kWh of electricity, 28,428 therms of natural gas and 1,745 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires Reside on Clarendon to report its energy use?
