Kenny Electric's ENERGY STAR score of 77 compares with an average of 71 across the 339 that report a score; it scores higher than 48% of them and lower than 51%. Its site EUI of 49.4 kBtu/ft² is about 26% below the average of 67.1 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group.
At 43,827 sq ft, it is about 72% below the average floor area of 157,927 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1959, 21 years earlier than the group's average year built (1980). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 15,264 office buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 73 and a site EUI of 59.3 kBtu/ft².
How has Kenny Electric's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 Denver disclosures for Kenny Electric, covering report years 2021–2023. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 74 in 2021 to 77 in 2023 (+3 points). Site EUI moved from 46.9 kBtu/ft² (2021) to 49.4 kBtu/ft² (2023), an 5% increase. Reported emissions went from 228 tCO₂e to 201 tCO₂e over the same span (down 11%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 77 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 77 means the building performs better than about 77% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 77 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. Kenny Electric's 49.4 kBtu/ft² across 43,827 sq ft works out to about 2.2 billion Btu (635 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. The disclosure also reports 248,511 kWh of electricity and 13,175 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Kenny Electric to report its energy use?
Kenny Electric reports under the Energize Denver Building Performance Policy, the legal basis of Denver's Energize Denver Benchmarking program, which publishes each covered building's annual benchmarking results. The record shown here is the report-year 2023 disclosure (source record denver:3307:2023).
