Roosevelt Collection (rs314)

How does Roosevelt Collection (rs314) compare with other mixed use property buildings in Chicago?

The latest disclosures cover 40 mixed use property buildings in Chicago, out of 3,852 buildings citywide. Roosevelt Collection (rs314)'s ENERGY STAR score of 90 compares with an average of 59 across the 11 that report a score; it scores higher than 82% of them and lower than 9%. Its site EUI of 42.9 kBtu/ft² is about 56% below the average of 98.2 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 4.5 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 55% below the group average of 10.1 kgCO₂e/ft².

At 1,095,338 sq ft, it is about 59% above the average floor area of 689,510 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 2010, 41 years later than the group's average year built (1969). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 1,212 mixed use property buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 69 and a site EUI of 79.8 kBtu/ft².

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 90 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 90 means the building performs better than about 90% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 90 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. Roosevelt Collection (rs314)'s 42.9 kBtu/ft² across 1,095,338 sq ft works out to about 47 billion Btu (13,771 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. Its source EUI of 89.2 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 8,102,141 kWh of electricity and 193,414 therms of natural gas for the year.

Which law requires Roosevelt Collection (rs314) to report its energy use?

Roosevelt Collection (rs314) 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:257153:2023). Covered buildings that fail to benchmark and report face fines of up to $100 plus $25 per day of violation under the ordinance.
