The latest disclosures cover 8 multifamily buildings in Kansas City, out of 1,628 buildings citywide. 1000 Berkley Pkwy's ENERGY STAR score of 90 compares with an average of 90 across the 1 that report a score. Its site EUI of 26.6 kBtu/ft² is roughly in line with the average of 26.6 kBtu/ft².

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 Kansas City, 46% 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. Its source EUI of 73.7 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 13,971 thousand gallons of water for the year.
