How has 1010 Memorial Drive's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 10 Cambridge disclosures for 1010 Memorial Drive, covering report years 2015–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 75 in 2022 to 69 in 2024 (-6 points); its best year on file was 2022, at 75. Site EUI moved from 59.1 kBtu/ft² (2022) to 60.4 kBtu/ft² (2024), an 2% increase.
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 69 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 69 means the building performs better than about 69% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 69 falls in band C — below median (55–69). It sits 6 points below 75, the threshold for ENERGY STAR certification. 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. 1010 Memorial Drive's 60.4 kBtu/ft² across 133,981 sq ft works out to about 8.1 billion Btu (2,372 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 97.7 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 768,553 kWh of electricity, 54,717 therms of natural gas and 34 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires 1010 Memorial Drive to report its energy use?
