How has Dunkeld Co Llc's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 Denver disclosures for Dunkeld Co Llc, covering report years 2021–2023. Its ENERGY STAR score was 86 in both 2021 and 2023. Site EUI moved from 50.7 kBtu/ft² (2021) to 48.1 kBtu/ft² (2023), a 5% decrease. Reported emissions went from 153 tCO₂e to 145 tCO₂e over the same span (down 5%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 86 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 86 means the building performs better than about 86% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 86 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 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. Dunkeld Co Llc's 48.1 kBtu/ft² across 29,292 sq ft works out to about 1.4 billion Btu (413 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. The disclosure also reports 201,083 kWh of electricity and 7,233 therms of natural gas for the year.
