How does Lovejoy ActivSpace compare with other office buildings in Portland?
The latest disclosures cover 335 office buildings in Portland, out of 952 buildings citywide. Lovejoy ActivSpace's ENERGY STAR score of 43 compares with an average of 76 across the 256 that report a score; it scores higher than 10% of them and lower than 89%. Its site EUI of 31.7 kBtu/ft² is about 33% below the average of 47.6 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group.
At 22,492 sq ft, it is about 78% below the average floor area of 100,908 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1999, 42 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.
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 43 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 43 means the building performs better than about 43% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 43 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 32 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. Lovejoy ActivSpace's 31.7 kBtu/ft² across 22,492 sq ft works out to about 0.7 billion Btu (209 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 209,263 kWh of electricity for the year.
Which law requires Lovejoy ActivSpace to report its energy use?
Lovejoy ActivSpace 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:1N1E33AC-5700-B1:2024).
