The Chicago Building Energy Use Benchmarking Ordinance calls on existing municipal, commercial, and residential buildings larger than 50,000 square feet to track whole-building energy use, report to the City annually, and verify data accuracy every three years. The law, which phases in from 2014-2017, covers less than 1% of Chicago’s buildings, which account for approximately 20% of total energy used by all buildings. For more details, including ordinance text, rules and regulations, and timing, please visit www.CityofChicago.org/EnergyBenchmarking

The ordinance authorizes the City to share property-specific information with the public, beginning with the second year in which a building is required to comply.

This map shows data for a single year.

Blue Cart Residential Recycling zones and schedule. Each recycling zone is divided into two sections – A (Orange) and B (Yellow). Collection is done on an alternating-week basis. For 2012, B/Yellow sections were collected the week of 1/2/2012 and A/Orange sections were collected the week of 1/9/2012, continuing to alternate from there. See http://bit.ly/wssHIB or https://data.cityofchicago.org/d/eb3b-ehmq for the full schedule. For more about Recycling in Chicago, visit http://bit.ly/IcfLHr.

This map and corresponding dataset provide the location, satellite images and square footage of existing green roofs within the City of Chicago. This dataset is in KML format. To view or use these files, special GIS software such as Google Earth is required.

This information is derived from an analysis of high-spatial resolution (50cm), pan-sharpened, ortho-rectified, 8-band multi-spectral satellite images collected by Digital Globe’s Worldview-2 satellite. The City supplied the consultant with a 2009 City boundary shapefile to determine the required extent of the imagery. Acquisition of three different strips of imagery corresponding to the satellite’s paths was required. These strips of imagery spanned three consecutive months and were collected in August 2010 (90% coverage), September 2010 (5% coverage) and October 2010 (5% coverage).

The results of the analysis include overall count of vegetated roofs, their total square footage, and the ratio of required to elective vegetated roofs. A total of 359 vegetated roofs were identified within the City of Chicago. The total square footage of these vegetated roofs was calculated to be approximately 5,469,463 square feet. The ratio of required vegetated roofs to elective vegetative roofs was 297:62 (~5:1). The median size of the vegetated roofs was calculated to be 5,234 square feet.
