How has Wentworth Condos's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 8 Chicago disclosures for Wentworth Condos, covering report years 2016–2023. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 86 in 2016 to 90 in 2023 (+4 points). Site EUI moved from 52.4 kBtu/ft² (2016) to 51.4 kBtu/ft² (2023), a 2% decrease. Reported emissions went from 446 tCO₂e to 323 tCO₂e over the same span (down 28%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 90 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 90 means the building performs better than about 90% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 90 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. Wentworth Condos's 51.4 kBtu/ft² across 63,983 sq ft works out to about 3.3 billion Btu (964 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. Its source EUI of 100.7 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 500,172 kWh of electricity and 15,852 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Wentworth Condos to report its energy use?
Wentworth Condos 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:176015:2023).
