Its site EUI of 38.3 kBtu/ft² is about 33% below the average of 56.9 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group.
At 200,000 sq ft, it is about 51% above the average floor area of 132,415 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 2021, 48 years later than the group's average year built (1973). 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 203 Concord Turnpike's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 6 Cambridge disclosures for 203 Concord Turnpike, covering report years 2019–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 99 in 2022 to 98 in 2024 (-1 points); its best year on file was 2022, at 99. Site EUI moved from 36.8 kBtu/ft² (2022) to 38.3 kBtu/ft² (2024), an 4% increase.
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 98 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 98 means the building performs better than about 98% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 98 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. 203 Concord Turnpike's 38.3 kBtu/ft² across 200,000 sq ft works out to about 7.7 billion Btu (2,245 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 67.3 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 904,405 kWh of electricity, 45,834 therms of natural gas and 9,755 thousand gallons of water for the year.
