How this estimate is made
Standard = the BERDO emissions standard for the building's use (kgCO₂e per sq ft per year: e.g. office 5.3 for 2025–2029 and 3.2 for 2030–2034) × floor area, compared with the emissions Boston published for the building. Exposure = tons over the standard × the $234 ACP.
Cost basis: $234 per tCO₂e alternative compliance payment (ACP).
Uses the primary property type only (a mixed-use building has a blended standard), Boston's published emissions as reported, and no flexibility measures (portfolios, individual compliance schedules, hardship plans) or renewable purchases. Buildings of 20,000–34,999 sq ft start in 2030.
Sources: City of Boston BERDO. Method berdo-2.0-standards-2026-10, computed 2026-10-28, floor area used 144,486 sq ft.
