Department of Human Services's ENERGY STAR score of 90 compares with an average of 76 across the 256 that report a score; it scores higher than 63% of them and lower than 34%. Its site EUI of 46.0 kBtu/ft² is roughly in line with the average of 47.6 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group.
At 48,532 sq ft, it is about half of the average floor area of 100,908 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1970, 13 years later 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 Department of Human Services's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 2 Portland disclosures for Department of Human Services, covering report years 2023–2024. Only one of those years carries energy figures.
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 90 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 90 means the building performs better than about 90% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 90 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 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. Department of Human Services's 46.0 kBtu/ft² across 48,532 sq ft works out to about 2.2 billion Btu (654 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 418,565 kWh of electricity and 8,044 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Department of Human Services to report its energy use?
Department of Human Services 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:1N1E22AB-9900-B1:2024).
