How has 115 Pacific St's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 10 Cambridge disclosures for 115 Pacific St, covering report years 2015–2024. Site EUI moved from 13.2 kBtu/ft² (2015) to 68.4 kBtu/ft² (2024), an 418% increase. Reported emissions went from 28 tCO₂e to 25 tCO₂e over the same span (down 10%).
What does a site EUI of 68.4 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. 115 Pacific St's 68.4 kBtu/ft² across 6,505 sq ft works out to about 0.4 billion Btu (130 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 96.9 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 27,372 kWh of electricity, 3,513 therms of natural gas and 332 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires 115 Pacific St to report its energy use?
115 Pacific St 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:B1706:2024). 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).
