How has 399 Binney Street's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 10 Cambridge disclosures for 399 Binney Street, covering report years 2015–2024. Site EUI moved from 82.3 kBtu/ft² (2019) to 192.2 kBtu/ft² (2024), an 134% increase.
What does a site EUI of 192.2 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. 399 Binney Street's 192.2 kBtu/ft² across 165,194 sq ft works out to about 31.8 billion Btu (9,305 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 383.0 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 5,010,768 kWh of electricity, 146,591 therms of natural gas and 3,213 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires 399 Binney Street to report its energy use?
399 Binney 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:B1125:2024). 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).
