How has Alpine Equipment Company's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 Denver disclosures for Alpine Equipment Company, covering report years 2021–2023. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 50 in 2021 to 60 in 2023 (+10 points).

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 60 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 60 means the building performs better than about 60% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 60 falls in band C — below median (55–69). It sits 15 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. Alpine Equipment Company's 19.4 kBtu/ft² across 49,975 sq ft works out to about 1 billion Btu (284 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. The disclosure also reports 146,202 kWh of electricity and 4,725 therms of natural gas for the year.
