City Council Hearing

On Monday, December 18 at 5:30 p.m., the Cambridge City Council will hold a public meeting to continue the discussion on the proposed amendment to the Building Energy Use Disclosure Ordinance. The latest amendment introduces language to the ordinance that will alter the requirements for large commercial buildings built after 2025. The amendment language (found here, page 36) was originally presented to the Council on December 4. This will be a hybrid meeting, allowing participation in the Sullivan Chamber and remotely via Zoom.

About BEUDO

In Cambridge, more than 80% of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions come from buildings. Since 2014, the Building Energy Use Disclosure Ordinance (BEUDO) has required buildings over a certain size to report energy use to the City (50+ units for residential, and 25,000+ square feet for commercial.) Amendments passed in 2023 require commercial buildings that meet size thresholds to reduce their GHG emissions on specific timelines. For more information, please visit cambridgema.gov/BEUDO.
