How has The Buckingham Condominium Association's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 9 Chicago disclosures for The Buckingham Condominium Association, covering report years 2015–2023. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 13 in 2015 to 43 in 2023 (+30 points).

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 43 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 43 means the building performs better than about 43% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 43 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 32 points below 75, the threshold for ENERGY STAR certification. 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. The Buckingham Condominium Association's 50.7 kBtu/ft² across 506,142 sq ft works out to about 25.7 billion Btu (7,521 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. Its source EUI of 134.1 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 6,849,897 kWh of electricity and 23,076 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires The Buckingham Condominium Association to report its energy use?
The Buckingham Condominium Association 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:240429:2023).
