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 165 Cambridge Park Drive's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 10 Cambridge disclosures for 165 Cambridge Park Drive, covering report years 2015–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 98 in 2016 to 90 in 2024 (-8 points); its best year on file was 2017, at 100. Site EUI moved from 38.9 kBtu/ft² (2016) to 51.0 kBtu/ft² (2024), an 31% increase.
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 90 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 90 means the building performs better than about 90% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 90 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. 165 Cambridge Park Drive's 51.0 kBtu/ft² across 250,995 sq ft works out to about 12.8 billion Btu (3,752 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 91.3 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 1,585,795 kWh of electricity, 73,974 therms of natural gas and 13,088 thousand gallons of water for the year.
