How has 75 Cambridge Parkway's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 10 Cambridge disclosures for 75 Cambridge Parkway, covering report years 2015–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 42 in 2015 to 61 in 2024 (+19 points). Site EUI moved from 84.2 kBtu/ft² (2015) to 69.1 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 18% decrease. Reported emissions went from 2,024 tCO₂e to 1,641 tCO₂e over the same span (down 19%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 61 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 61 means the building performs better than about 61% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 61 falls in band C — below median (55–69). It sits 14 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. 75 Cambridge Parkway's 69.1 kBtu/ft² across 400,000 sq ft works out to about 27.6 billion Btu (8,100 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 112.3 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 2,663,568 kWh of electricity, 185,364 therms of natural gas and 9,607 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires 75 Cambridge Parkway to report its energy use?
