How does 60 Acorn Park Drive compare with other office buildings in Cambridge?
The latest disclosures cover 117 office buildings in Cambridge, out of 902 buildings citywide. 60 Acorn Park Drive's ENERGY STAR score of 82 compares with an average of 64 across the 94 that report a score; it scores higher than 68% of them and lower than 29%. Its site EUI of 50.9 kBtu/ft² is about 35% below the average of 78.7 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group.
At 201,500 sq ft, it is about 66% above the average floor area of 121,167 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 2011, 46 years later than the group's average year built (1965). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 15,264 office buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 73 and a site EUI of 59.3 kBtu/ft².
How has 60 Acorn Park Drive's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 10 Cambridge disclosures for 60 Acorn Park Drive, covering report years 2015–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 85 in 2015 to 82 in 2024 (-3 points); its best year on file was 2015, at 85. Site EUI moved from 67.2 kBtu/ft² (2015) to 50.9 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 24% decrease. Reported emissions went from 1,040 tCO₂e to 739 tCO₂e over the same span (down 29%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 82 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 82 means the building performs better than about 82% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 82 falls in band B — above median (70–84). 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. 60 Acorn Park Drive's 50.9 kBtu/ft² across 201,500 sq ft works out to about 10.3 billion Btu (3,006 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 142.0 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 2,988,763 kWh of electricity, 569 therms of natural gas and 3,556 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires 60 Acorn Park Drive to report its energy use?
