The latest disclosures cover 3,852 benchmarked buildings in Chicago. Its site EUI of 82.2 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 6.8 kgCO₂e/ft² is roughly in line with the group average of 7.5 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 144,166 sq ft, it is about 41% below the average floor area of 244,008 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 2001, 34 years later than the group's average year built (1967). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 229 pre-school/daycare buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 74 and a site EUI of 55.4 kBtu/ft².
How has St Vincent Depaul's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 9 Chicago disclosures for St Vincent Depaul, covering report years 2015–2023. Site EUI moved from 66.6 kBtu/ft² (2015) to 82.2 kBtu/ft² (2023), an 23% increase. Reported emissions went from 1,135 tCO₂e to 978 tCO₂e over the same span (down 14%).
What does a site EUI of 82.2 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. St Vincent Depaul's 82.2 kBtu/ft² across 144,166 sq ft works out to about 11.9 billion Btu (3,473 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. Its source EUI of 135.1 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 1,177,346 kWh of electricity and 78,358 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires St Vincent Depaul to report its energy use?
St Vincent Depaul 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:163996:2023). Covered buildings that fail to benchmark and report face fines of up to $100 plus $25 per day of violation under the ordinance.
