These are buildings that we have manually tagged as being owned by University of Chicago, so this may not be a definitive list.
Equivalent to 101 of the median benchmarked building (2,063 tons CO2e)
3x the median benchmarked building (8 kg CO2/sqft)
Note: This data only includes buildings whose emissions are reported under the Chicago Energy Benchmarking Ordinance. According to the City βAs of 2016, this list includes all commercial, institutional, and residential buildings larger than 50,000 square feet.β This dataset is also then filtered to only buildings with reported emissions > 1,000 metric tons CO2 equivalent.
This data is also from 2020, but when new benchmark data is available, we'll update the site.
