How has 30 Acorn Park Drive's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 4 Cambridge disclosures for 30 Acorn Park Drive, covering report years 2021–2024. Site EUI moved from 212.0 kBtu/ft² (2021) to 223.4 kBtu/ft² (2024), an 5% increase. Reported emissions went from 1,631 tCO₂e to 1,725 tCO₂e over the same span (up 6%).
What does a site EUI of 223.4 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. 30 Acorn Park Drive's 223.4 kBtu/ft² across 121,721 sq ft works out to about 27.2 billion Btu (7,969 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 445.8 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 4,305,987 kWh of electricity, 125,028 therms of natural gas and 6,232 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires 30 Acorn Park Drive to report its energy use?
30 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:B1427:2024). 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).
