How has Galleria Lighting's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 Denver disclosures for Galleria Lighting, covering report years 2021–2023. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 72 in 2021 to 70 in 2023 (-2 points); its best year on file was 2022, at 87. Site EUI moved from 27.6 kBtu/ft² (2021) to 29.7 kBtu/ft² (2023), an 8% increase. Reported emissions went from 90 tCO₂e to 84 tCO₂e over the same span (down 7%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 70 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 70 means the building performs better than about 70% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 70 falls in band B — above median (70–84). It sits 5 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. Galleria Lighting's 29.7 kBtu/ft² across 30,400 sq ft works out to about 0.9 billion Btu (265 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. The disclosure also reports 104,656 kWh of electricity and 5,435 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Galleria Lighting to report its energy use?
