How has 222 Jacobs Street's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 5 Cambridge disclosures for 222 Jacobs Street, covering report years 2020–2024. Site EUI moved from 116.2 kBtu/ft² (2020) to 154.8 kBtu/ft² (2024), an 33% increase. Reported emissions went from 3,342 tCO₂e to 4,585 tCO₂e over the same span (up 37%).
What does a site EUI of 154.8 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. 222 Jacobs Street's 154.8 kBtu/ft² across 466,713 sq ft works out to about 72.2 billion Btu (21,174 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 306.3 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 11,305,614 kWh of electricity, 338,812 therms of natural gas and 7,559 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires 222 Jacobs Street to report its energy use?
222 Jacobs Street 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:B1076:2024). 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).
