How has Harcourt Arms's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 Denver disclosures for Harcourt Arms, covering report years 2021–2023. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 86 in 2021 to 89 in 2023 (+3 points).

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 89 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 89 means the building performs better than about 89% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 89 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. Harcourt Arms's 55.7 kBtu/ft² across 28,600 sq ft works out to about 1.6 billion Btu (467 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. The disclosure also reports 256,056 kWh of electricity and 7,203 therms of natural gas for the year.
