We have used a modest amount of cooking gas in the canteen of our office building. Should we be counting this in the energy use for the Energy Star rating?

Yes - Energy Star requires you to input all energy sources used by the building. Gas used in a commercial kitchen is part of the equation.

As a general follow-on to Dan's response, it's also easy to overlook the need to include energy sources that are supplied to the building in discrete deliveries, rather than through a metered connection -- things like diesel for generators or fire pumps, liquid propane, or even wood pellets, etc.
