How has 64 Linnaean Street's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 10 Cambridge disclosures for 64 Linnaean Street, covering report years 2015–2024. Site EUI moved from 105.3 kBtu/ft² (2015) to 67.8 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 36% decrease. Reported emissions went from 1,182 tCO₂e to 794 tCO₂e over the same span (down 33%).
What does a site EUI of 67.8 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. 64 Linnaean Street's 67.8 kBtu/ft² across 191,944 sq ft works out to about 13 billion Btu (3,814 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 111.9 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 1,316,310 kWh of electricity, 77,136 therms of natural gas and 958 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires 64 Linnaean Street to report its energy use?
64 Linnaean 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:B1211:2024). 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).
