How has 40 Gerry's Landing Rd.'s energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 10 Cambridge disclosures for 40 Gerry's Landing Rd., covering report years 2015–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 66 in 2018 to 94 in 2024 (+28 points); its best year on file was 2023, at 97. Site EUI moved from 65.6 kBtu/ft² (2018) to 18.9 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 71% decrease.
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 94 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 94 means the building performs better than about 94% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 94 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. 40 Gerry's Landing Rd.'s 18.9 kBtu/ft² across 3,825 sq ft works out to about 0.1 billion Btu (21 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 52.1 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 20,640 kWh of electricity, 19 therms of natural gas and 0 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires 40 Gerry's Landing Rd. to report its energy use?
40 Gerry's Landing Rd. 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:B1696:2024). 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).
