Understand local energy performance trends

City of Portland typically publishes energy performance metrics for individual buildings and a summary report each year. However, the City paused the requirements in 2020 due to the global COVID-19 pandemic. This is the first year that commercial energy reporting has been resumed after that pause. Because of this three-year gap, this year's report includes a comparative analysis of building energy use from the 2019 and 2023 reporting years.

The Bureau of Planning and Sustainability (BPS) also publishes a ranked list of verified top performing buildings. These buildings have also taken the voluntary step of getting energy performance metrics verified or certified by a licensed professional.

Several buildings exhibited exemplary energy efficiency during 2023 and reported their ENERGY STAR® score to the Bureau of Planning and Sustainability (BPS). These five buildings topped the list:
