How has Superior House's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 4 Chicago disclosures for Superior House, covering report years 2020–2023. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 98 in 2021 to 95 in 2023 (-3 points); its best year on file was 2022, at 99. Site EUI moved from 42.5 kBtu/ft² (2021) to 41.4 kBtu/ft² (2023), a 3% decrease. Reported emissions went from 496 tCO₂e to 441 tCO₂e over the same span (down 11%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 95 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 95 means the building performs better than about 95% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 95 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. Superior House's 41.4 kBtu/ft² across 122,916 sq ft works out to about 5.1 billion Btu (1,491 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. Its source EUI of 71.4 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 574,440 kWh of electricity and 31,321 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Superior House to report its energy use?
Superior House 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:256829:2023).
