Energy Breakdown
- Fossil Gas Use (aka Natural Gas)
- 0 kBtuMedian Chicago Building5,818,399.6 kBtuMedian College/University4,847,201 kBtuThis Building Uses District Heating ❗
Although this building didn't burn any fossil gas on site, it's connected to a district heating system, a centralized system for heating multiple buildings. District heating systems can be fully electric, but in Chicago most district heating systems are fossil gas powered, meaning this building was most likely still heated with fossil gas.
- Electricity Use

- District Steam Use
- 451,039,945.6 kBtu
Most buildings don't use district steam, so we don't currently have comparison data.

* Note on Rankings: Rankings and medians are among included buildings, which are those who reported under the Chicago Energy Benchmarking Ordinance for the year 2022, which only applies to buildings over 50,000 square feet.
** Note on Bill Estimates:
Estimates for gas and electric bills are based on average electric and
gas retail prices for Chicago in 2021 and
are rounded. We expect large buildings would negotiate lower rates with
utilities, but these estimates serve as an upper bound of cost and help
understand the volume of energy a building is used by comparing it to
your own energy bills! See our
Chicago Gas & Electric Costs Source
for the original statistics.
