Compliance context
BEUDO
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).

How does 765 Concord Avenu compare with other K-12 school buildings in Cambridge?
The latest disclosures cover 45 K-12 school buildings in Cambridge, out of 902 buildings citywide. 765 Concord Avenu's ENERGY STAR score of 69 compares with an average of 60 across the 38 that report a score; it scores higher than 53% of them and lower than 45%. Its site EUI of 98.7 kBtu/ft² is about 58% above the average of 62.4 kBtu/ft² — it uses more energy per square foot than the typical building in that group.
At 27,000 sq ft, it is about 56% below the average floor area of 61,739 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1961, 5 years later than the group's average year built (1956). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 6,548 K-12 school buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 64 and a site EUI of 52.7 kBtu/ft².
How has 765 Concord Avenu's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 10 Cambridge disclosures for 765 Concord Avenu, covering report years 2015–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 40 in 2015 to 69 in 2024 (+29 points); its best year on file was 2020, at 90. Site EUI moved from 115.7 kBtu/ft² (2015) to 98.7 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 15% decrease. Reported emissions went from 181 tCO₂e to 145 tCO₂e over the same span (down 20%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 69 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 69 means the building performs better than about 69% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 69 falls in band C — below median (55–69). It sits 6 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. 765 Concord Avenu's 98.7 kBtu/ft² across 27,000 sq ft works out to about 2.7 billion Btu (781 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 114.8 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 50,697 kWh of electricity, 24,911 therms of natural gas and 305 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires 765 Concord Avenu to report its energy use?
765 Concord Avenu 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:B1551:2024). 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).
