How does 10 Dana St compare with other multifamily housing buildings in Cambridge?
The latest disclosures cover 187 multifamily housing buildings in Cambridge, out of 902 buildings citywide. 10 Dana St's ENERGY STAR score of 93 compares with an average of 75 across the 155 that report a score; it scores higher than 66% of them and lower than 29%. Its site EUI of 56.1 kBtu/ft² is roughly in line with the average of 56.9 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group.
At 75,000 sq ft, it is about 43% below the average floor area of 132,415 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1980, 7 years later than the group's average year built (1973). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 59,945 multifamily housing buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 70 and a site EUI of 59.0 kBtu/ft².
How has 10 Dana St's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 10 Cambridge disclosures for 10 Dana St, covering report years 2015–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 98 in 2017 to 93 in 2024 (-5 points); its best year on file was 2017, at 98. Site EUI moved from 54.6 kBtu/ft² (2017) to 56.1 kBtu/ft² (2024), an 3% increase.
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 93 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 93 means the building performs better than about 93% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 93 falls in band A — high performer (85–100). 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 Cambridge, 50% 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. 10 Dana St's 56.1 kBtu/ft² across 75,000 sq ft works out to about 4.2 billion Btu (1,233 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 67.7 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 109,975 kWh of electricity, 38,337 therms of natural gas and 21,650 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires 10 Dana St to report its energy use?
