How has 10 Holyoke Pl's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 10 Cambridge disclosures for 10 Holyoke Pl, covering report years 2015–2024. Site EUI moved from 76.5 kBtu/ft² (2015) to 73.4 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 4% decrease. Reported emissions went from 1,131 tCO₂e to 1,049 tCO₂e over the same span (down 7%).
What does a site EUI of 73.4 kBtu/ft² mean?
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 Holyoke Pl's 73.4 kBtu/ft² across 216,722 sq ft works out to about 15.9 billion Btu (4,662 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 117.4 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 1,339,380 kWh of electricity, 3,777 therms of natural gas and 4,337 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires 10 Holyoke Pl to report its energy use?
10 Holyoke Pl reports under BEUDO, the legal basis of Cambridge's Building Energy Use Disclosure Ordinance (BEUDO), which publishes each covered building's annual benchmarking results. The record shown here is the report-year 2024 disclosure (source record cambridge:B1190:2024). Cambridge's 2023 BEUDO amendments require non-residential buildings of 100,000+ sq ft to reach net-zero emissions by 2035 (reductions starting 2026) and those of 25,000–100,000 sq ft by 2050 (starting 2030).
