These are buildings that we have manually tagged as being owned by Northwestern University, so this may not be a definitive list.
Equivalent to 137 of the median benchmarked building (885.8 tons CO2e)
3x the median benchmarked building (6.4 kg CO2/sqft)
Note: This data only includes buildings whose emissions are reported under the Chicago Energy Benchmarking Ordinance. According to the City “As of 2016, this list includes all commercial, institutional, and residential buildings larger than 50,000 square feet.” This dataset is also then filtered to only buildings with reported emissions > 1,000 metric tons CO2 equivalent.
The latest year of data is from 2022, but we update the site regularly when new data is available, and some buildings may have failed to report that year, and only have older data available.
