How does 445 Concord Avenue compare with other buildings in Cambridge?
The latest disclosures cover 902 benchmarked buildings in Cambridge. 445 Concord Avenue's ENERGY STAR score of 89 compares with an average of 66 across the 374 that report a score. Its site EUI of 10.5 kBtu/ft² is about 91% below the average of 117.2 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group.
At 60,200 sq ft, it is about half of the average floor area of 114,869 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1930, 32 years earlier than the group's average year built (1962). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 4,723 non-refrigerated warehouse buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 66 and a site EUI of 26.0 kBtu/ft².
How has 445 Concord Avenue's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 10 Cambridge disclosures for 445 Concord Avenue, covering report years 2015–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 71 in 2015 to 89 in 2024 (+18 points); its best year on file was 2016, at 90. Site EUI moved from 40.1 kBtu/ft² (2015) to 10.5 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 74% decrease. Reported emissions went from 150 tCO₂e to 43 tCO₂e over the same span (down 72%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 89 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 89 means the building performs better than about 89% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 89 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. 445 Concord Avenue's 10.5 kBtu/ft² across 60,200 sq ft works out to about 0.6 billion Btu (185 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 24.9 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 140,525 kWh of electricity and 1,504 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires 445 Concord Avenue to report its energy use?
445 Concord Avenue 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:B1719:2024). 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).
