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.
How has Adar Sheni's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 Denver disclosures for Adar Sheni, covering report years 2021–2023. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 37 in 2021 to 57 in 2023 (+20 points). Site EUI moved from 95.2 kBtu/ft² (2021) to 66.9 kBtu/ft² (2023), a 30% decrease. Reported emissions went from 433 tCO₂e to 320 tCO₂e over the same span (down 26%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 57 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 57 means the building performs better than about 57% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 57 falls in band C — below median (55–69). It sits 18 points below 75, the threshold for ENERGY STAR certification. 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. Adar Sheni's 66.9 kBtu/ft² across 39,804 sq ft works out to about 2.7 billion Btu (780 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. The disclosure also reports 472,947 kWh of electricity and 0 therms of natural gas for the year.
