Its ENERGY STAR score went from 85 in 2023 to 83 in 2024 (-2 points); its best year on file was 2023, at 85. Site EUI moved from 28.2 kBtu/ft² (2023) to 29.9 kBtu/ft² (2024), an 6% increase.

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 83 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 83 means the building performs better than about 83% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 83 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. Love and Kindness's 29.9 kBtu/ft² across 28,979 sq ft works out to about 0.9 billion Btu (254 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 229,343 kWh of electricity and 841 therms of natural gas for the year.
