Rogers's ENERGY STAR score of 35 compares with an average of 45 across the 365 that report a score; it scores higher than 39% of them and lower than 60%. Its site EUI of 76.9 kBtu/ft² is roughly in line with the average of 72.7 kBtu/ft². Its emissions intensity of 6.0 kgCO₂e/ft² is roughly in line with the group average of 6.2 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 89,910 sq ft, it is about 26% below the average floor area of 121,824 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1937, 6 years earlier than the group's average year built (1943). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 6,548 K-12 school buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 64 and a site EUI of 52.7 kBtu/ft².
How has Rogers's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 9 Chicago disclosures for Rogers, covering report years 2015–2023. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 71 in 2015 to 35 in 2023 (-36 points); its best year on file was 2017, at 78. Site EUI moved from 76.3 kBtu/ft² (2015) to 76.9 kBtu/ft² (2023), an 1% increase. Reported emissions went from 434 tCO₂e to 538 tCO₂e over the same span (up 24%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 35 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 35 means the building performs better than about 35% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 35 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 40 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. Rogers's 76.9 kBtu/ft² across 89,910 sq ft works out to about 6.9 billion Btu (2,026 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. Its source EUI of 119.0 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 575,409 kWh of electricity and 49,552 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Rogers to report its energy use?
Rogers 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:251755:2023). Covered buildings that fail to benchmark and report face fines of up to $100 plus $25 per day of violation under the ordinance.
