How does Acoma Street Campus compare with other office buildings in Denver?
The latest disclosures cover 427 office buildings in Denver, out of 3,287 buildings citywide. Acoma Street Campus's ENERGY STAR score of 78 compares with an average of 71 across the 339 that report a score; it scores higher than 49% of them and lower than 49%. Its site EUI of 42.2 kBtu/ft² is about 37% below the average of 67.1 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group.
At 47,376 sq ft, it is about 70% below the average floor area of 157,927 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1990, 10 years later than the group's average year built (1980). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 15,264 office buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 73 and a site EUI of 59.3 kBtu/ft².
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 78 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 78 means the building performs better than about 78% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 78 falls in band B — above median (70–84). 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 Denver, 54% 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. Acoma Street Campus's 42.2 kBtu/ft² across 47,376 sq ft works out to about 2 billion Btu (586 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. The disclosure also reports 257,520 kWh of electricity and 11,203 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Acoma Street Campus to report its energy use?
