How has 592-598 Columbia Rd's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 Boston disclosures for 592-598 Columbia Rd, covering report years 2022–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score was 97 in both 2023 and 2024.

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 97 mean?
ENERGY STAR scores run from 1 to 100 and are computed by the EPA's Portfolio Manager as a percentile against similar buildings nationwide, adjusted for climate, size and use: a score of 97 means the building performs better than about 97% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 97 falls in band A — high performer (85–100). Scores of 75 or higher meet the threshold for ENERGY STAR certification; certification itself is a separate, verified application that the disclosure does not record. In Boston, 52% of scored buildings are at 75 or above.
Site energy-use intensity (EUI) is the energy a building uses on site in a year divided by its floor area, in thousand Btu per square foot — lower is more efficient. 592-598 Columbia Rd's 37.3 kBtu/ft² across 20,000 sq ft works out to about 0.7 billion Btu (219 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 111,381 kWh of electricity and 3,658 therms of natural gas for the year.
