How has Holland House's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 Denver disclosures for Holland House, covering report years 2021–2023. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 67 in 2021 to 79 in 2023 (+12 points).

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 79 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 79 means the building performs better than about 79% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 79 falls in band B — above median (70–84). 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. Holland House's 63.1 kBtu/ft² across 50,317 sq ft works out to about 3.2 billion Btu (931 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. The disclosure also reports 223,812 kWh of electricity and 24,130 therms of natural gas for the year.
