Dale Building's ENERGY STAR score of 77 compares with an average of 76 across the 256 that report a score; it scores higher than 40% of them and lower than 59%. Its site EUI of 28.4 kBtu/ft² is about 40% below the average of 47.6 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group.
At 20,000 sq ft, it is about 80% below the average floor area of 100,908 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1915, 42 years earlier than the group's average year built (1957). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 15,264 office buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 73 and a site EUI of 59.3 kBtu/ft².
How has Dale Building's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 2 Portland disclosures for Dale Building, covering report years 2023–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 87 in 2023 to 77 in 2024 (-10 points); its best year on file was 2023, at 87. Site EUI moved from 23.1 kBtu/ft² (2023) to 28.4 kBtu/ft² (2024), an 23% increase. Reported emissions went from 33 tCO₂e to 46 tCO₂e over the same span (up 40%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 77 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 77 means the building performs better than about 77% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 77 falls in band B — above median (70–84). 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 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. Dale Building's 28.4 kBtu/ft² across 20,000 sq ft works out to about 0.6 billion Btu (166 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 114,620 kWh of electricity and 1,761 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Dale Building to report its energy use?
Dale Building reports under the Commercial Building Energy Performance Reporting Policy, the legal basis of Portland's Commercial Building Energy Reporting program, which publishes each covered building's annual benchmarking results. The record shown here is the report-year 2024 disclosure (source record portland_or:1N1E33DA-1300-B1:2024).
