How has Columbia East's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 2 Portland disclosures for Columbia East, covering report years 2023–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 79 in 2023 to 66 in 2024 (-13 points); its best year on file was 2023, at 79. Site EUI moved from 49.6 kBtu/ft² (2023) to 73.1 kBtu/ft² (2024), an 47% increase. Reported emissions went from 118 tCO₂e to 165 tCO₂e over the same span (up 40%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 66 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 66 means the building performs better than about 66% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 66 falls in band C — below median (55–69). It sits 9 points below 75, the threshold for ENERGY STAR certification. In Portland, 66% 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. Columbia East's 73.1 kBtu/ft² across 33,867 sq ft works out to about 2.5 billion Btu (726 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 244,160 kWh of electricity and 16,429 therms of natural gas for the year.
