How has The Chateau's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 Denver disclosures for The Chateau, covering report years 2021–2023. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 92 in 2021 to 95 in 2023 (+3 points). Site EUI moved from 66.5 kBtu/ft² (2021) to 56.1 kBtu/ft² (2023), a 16% decrease. Reported emissions went from 149 tCO₂e to 149 tCO₂e over the same span (down 1%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 95 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 95 means the building performs better than about 95% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 95 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 Chateau's 56.1 kBtu/ft² across 38,715 sq ft works out to about 2.2 billion Btu (637 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. The disclosure also reports 100,529 kWh of electricity and 18,270 therms of natural gas for the year.
