How does Lg Investments compare with other non-refrigerated warehouse buildings in Denver?

The latest disclosures cover 213 non-refrigerated warehouse buildings in Denver, out of 3,287 buildings citywide. Lg Investments's ENERGY STAR score of 71 compares with an average of 67 across the 161 that report a score; it scores higher than 47% of them and lower than 51%. Its site EUI of 14.3 kBtu/ft² is about 68% below the average of 45.3 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group.

At 31,952 sq ft, it is about 65% below the average floor area of 92,563 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1993, 16 years later than the group's average year built (1977). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 4,723 non-refrigerated warehouse buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 66 and a site EUI of 26.0 kBtu/ft².

How has Lg Investments's energy performance changed over time?

BuildingCensus holds 3 Denver disclosures for Lg Investments, covering report years 2021–2023. Only one of those years carries energy figures.

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 71 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 71 means the building performs better than about 71% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 71 falls in band B — above median (70–84). It sits 4 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. Lg Investments's 14.3 kBtu/ft² across 31,952 sq ft works out to about 0.5 billion Btu (134 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. The disclosure also reports 51,417 kWh of electricity and 2,817 therms of natural gas for the year.

Which law requires Lg Investments to report its energy use?

Lg Investments 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:2051:2023). Energize Denver sets energy-use (EUI) targets for buildings of 25,000+ sq ft — for most buildings an interim target in 2028 and a final target in 2032 — with civil penalties of roughly $0.15–0.35 per kBtu over target for non-compliance.
