At 4,600 sq ft, it is about 98% below the average floor area of 191,803 sq ft for those buildings. 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 Fairview Av's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 Boston disclosures for Fairview Av, covering report years 2022–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 74 in 2022 to 84 in 2024 (+10 points). Site EUI moved from 71.8 kBtu/ft² (2022) to 55.6 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 23% decrease. Reported emissions went from 25 tCO₂e to 19 tCO₂e over the same span (down 25%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 84 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 84 means the building performs better than about 84% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 84 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 Boston, 52% 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. Fairview Av's 55.6 kBtu/ft² across 4,600 sq ft works out to about 0.3 billion Btu (75 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 7,470 kWh of electricity for the year.
Which law requires Fairview Av to report its energy use?
Fairview Av reports under BERDO 2.0, the legal basis of Boston's Building Emissions Reduction and Disclosure Ordinance, which publishes each covered building's annual benchmarking results. The record shown here is the report-year 2024 disclosure (source record boston:106961:2024). BERDO 2.0 sets emissions standards for buildings of 20,000+ sq ft or 15+ units, starting in 2025 or 2030 depending on building size, with an alternative-compliance payment of $234 per metric ton of CO₂e over the limit.
