How has 80 Fawcett Street's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 10 Cambridge disclosures for 80 Fawcett Street, covering report years 2015–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 34 in 2015 to 87 in 2024 (+53 points); its best year on file was 2019, at 100. Site EUI moved from 94.3 kBtu/ft² (2015) to 43.3 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 54% decrease. Reported emissions went from 1,703 tCO₂e to 1,049 tCO₂e over the same span (down 38%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 87 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 87 means the building performs better than about 87% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 87 falls in band A — high performer (85–100). 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. 80 Fawcett Street's 43.3 kBtu/ft² across 374,241 sq ft works out to about 16.2 billion Btu (4,749 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 91.6 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 2,888,805 kWh of electricity, 63,461 therms of natural gas and 12,374 thousand gallons of water for the year.
