Its site EUI of 95.9 kBtu/ft² is about 33% above the average of 72.0 kBtu/ft² — it uses more energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 8.3 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 43% above the group average of 5.8 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 110,435 sq ft, it is about half of the average floor area of 206,097 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 2020, 49 years later than the group's average year built (1971).

How has The Hayden's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 6 Chicago disclosures for The Hayden, covering report years 2018–2023. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 38 in 2020 to 4 in 2023 (-34 points); its best year on file was 2021, at 100. Site EUI moved from 89.0 kBtu/ft² (2020) to 95.9 kBtu/ft² (2023), an 8% increase. Reported emissions went from 812 tCO₂e to 917 tCO₂e over the same span (up 13%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 4 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 4 means the building performs better than about 4% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 4 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 71 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 Hayden's 95.9 kBtu/ft² across 110,435 sq ft works out to about 10.6 billion Btu (3,104 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. Its source EUI of 165.4 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 1,197,072 kWh of electricity and 65,050 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires The Hayden to report its energy use?
The Hayden 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:255970:2023).
