How does Soldier Field compare with other buildings in Chicago?
The latest disclosures cover 3,852 benchmarked buildings in Chicago. Its site EUI of 81.0 kBtu/ft² is roughly in line with the average of 84.4 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 14.7 kgCO₂e/ft² is about twice the group average of 7.5 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 1,548,634 sq ft, it is about 535% above the average floor area of 244,008 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1924, 43 years earlier than the group's average year built (1967).
What does a site EUI of 81.0 kBtu/ft² mean?
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. Soldier Field's 81.0 kBtu/ft² across 1,548,634 sq ft works out to about 125.4 billion Btu (36,763 MWh-equivalent) in 2015. Its source EUI of 231.5 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 31,806,890 kWh of electricity and 168,995 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Soldier Field to report its energy use?
Soldier Field 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 2015 disclosure (source record chicago:103669:2015). Covered buildings that fail to benchmark and report face fines of up to $100 plus $25 per day of violation under the ordinance.
