How does 60 Oxford Street compare with other office buildings in Cambridge?
The latest disclosures cover 117 office buildings in Cambridge, out of 902 buildings citywide. 60 Oxford Street's ENERGY STAR score of 9 compares with an average of 64 across the 94 that report a score; it scores higher than 4% of them and lower than 95%. Its site EUI of 235.6 kBtu/ft² is about 199% above the average of 78.7 kBtu/ft² — it uses more energy per square foot than the typical building in that group.
At 97,036 sq ft, it is about 20% below the average floor area of 121,167 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 2001, 36 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 Oxford Street's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 10 Cambridge disclosures for 60 Oxford Street, covering report years 2015–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 23 in 2015 to 9 in 2024 (-14 points); its best year on file was 2023, at 82. Site EUI moved from 163.8 kBtu/ft² (2015) to 235.6 kBtu/ft² (2024), an 44% increase. Reported emissions went from 799 tCO₂e to 1,480 tCO₂e over the same span (up 85%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 9 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 9 means the building performs better than about 9% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 9 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 66 points below 75, the threshold for ENERGY STAR certification. 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 Oxford Street's 235.6 kBtu/ft² across 97,036 sq ft works out to about 22.9 billion Btu (6,700 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 353.6 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 1,676,707 kWh of electricity and 1,130 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires 60 Oxford Street to report its energy use?
60 Oxford 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:B1237:2024). 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).
