How does The 410 compare with other office buildings in Denver?
The latest disclosures cover 427 office buildings in Denver, out of 3,287 buildings citywide. The 410's ENERGY STAR score of 85 compares with an average of 71 across the 339 that report a score; it scores higher than 71% of them and lower than 27%. Its site EUI of 46.8 kBtu/ft² is about 30% below the average of 67.1 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group.
At 436,455 sq ft, it is about 176% above the average floor area of 157,927 sq ft for those buildings. Its 1978 construction date is close to 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 The 410's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 Denver disclosures for The 410, covering report years 2021–2023. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 81 in 2021 to 85 in 2023 (+4 points). Site EUI moved from 54.3 kBtu/ft² (2021) to 46.8 kBtu/ft² (2023), a 14% decrease. Reported emissions went from 2,830 tCO₂e to 2,408 tCO₂e over the same span (down 15%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 85 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 85 means the building performs better than about 85% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 85 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. The 410's 46.8 kBtu/ft² across 436,455 sq ft works out to about 20.4 billion Btu (5,986 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. The disclosure also reports 3,480,902 kWh of electricity and 0 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires The 410 to report its energy use?
The 410 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:2637:2023). 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.
