At 164,481 sq ft, it is roughly in line with the average floor area of 181,468 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 2019, 35 years later than the group's average year built (1984). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 795 laboratory buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 29 and a site EUI of 231.7 kBtu/ft².
How has 20 Acorn Park Drive's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 4 Cambridge disclosures for 20 Acorn Park Drive, covering report years 2021–2024. Site EUI moved from 151.1 kBtu/ft² (2021) to 187.2 kBtu/ft² (2024), an 24% increase. Reported emissions went from 1,593 tCO₂e to 1,938 tCO₂e over the same span (up 22%).
What does a site EUI of 187.2 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. 20 Acorn Park Drive's 187.2 kBtu/ft² across 164,481 sq ft works out to about 30.8 billion Btu (9,024 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 365.3 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 4,649,051 kWh of electricity, 149,243 therms of natural gas and 2,974 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires 20 Acorn Park Drive to report its energy use?
20 Acorn Park Drive 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:B1432:2024). 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).
