Its ENERGY STAR score went from 95 in 2016 to 86 in 2023 (-9 points); its best year on file was 2016, at 95. Site EUI moved from 37.3 kBtu/ft² (2016) to 49.0 kBtu/ft² (2023), an 31% increase.

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 86 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 86 means the building performs better than about 86% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 86 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. St. Paul Lofts Condominium Association's 49.0 kBtu/ft² across 105,718 sq ft works out to about 5.2 billion Btu (1,518 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. Its source EUI of 80.3 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 510,960 kWh of electricity and 34,334 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires St. Paul Lofts Condominium Association to report its energy use?
