How has Two Denver Highlands's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 Denver disclosures for Two Denver Highlands, covering report years 2021–2023. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 93 in 2022 to 90 in 2023 (-3 points); its best year on file was 2022, at 93. Site EUI moved from 60.1 kBtu/ft² (2021) to 54.3 kBtu/ft² (2023), a 10% decrease. Reported emissions went from 1,401 tCO₂e to 1,169 tCO₂e over the same span (down 17%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 90 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 90 means the building performs better than about 90% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 90 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. Two Denver Highlands's 54.3 kBtu/ft² across 230,057 sq ft works out to about 12.5 billion Btu (3,661 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. The disclosure also reports 1,453,322 kWh of electricity and 75,338 therms of natural gas for the year.
