Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 1,212 mixed use property buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 69 and a site EUI of 79.8 kBtu/ft².
How has 300 Technology Square's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 10 Cambridge disclosures for 300 Technology Square, covering report years 2015–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 2 in 2015 to 1 in 2024 (-1 points); its best year on file was 2016, at 5. Site EUI moved from 313.7 kBtu/ft² (2015) to 329.6 kBtu/ft² (2024), an 5% increase. Reported emissions went from 3,493 tCO₂e to 3,574 tCO₂e over the same span (up 2%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 1 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: 1 is the bottom of the scale. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 1 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 74 points below 75, the threshold for ENERGY STAR certification. 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. 300 Technology Square's 329.6 kBtu/ft² across 175,609 sq ft works out to about 57.9 billion Btu (16,963 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 606.9 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 7,670,268 kWh of electricity, 317,077 therms of natural gas and 5,748 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires 300 Technology Square to report its energy use?
