How has 450 Kendall Street's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 10 Cambridge disclosures for 450 Kendall Street, covering report years 2015–2024. Site EUI moved from 73.5 kBtu/ft² (2015) to 183.2 kBtu/ft² (2024), an 149% increase. Reported emissions went from 322 tCO₂e to 789 tCO₂e over the same span (up 145%).
What does a site EUI of 183.2 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. 450 Kendall Street's 183.2 kBtu/ft² across 68,577 sq ft works out to about 12.6 billion Btu (3,682 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 355.4 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 1,872,880 kWh of electricity, 61,698 therms of natural gas and 856 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires 450 Kendall Street to report its energy use?
450 Kendall 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:B1422:2024). 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).
