Awarded Highest Honor Given by the ENERGY STAR Program for the 2nd Year

Boston Properties, Inc. (NYSE: BXP), the largest publicly traded developer, owner, and manager of Class A office properties in the United States, today announced that it has received the 2022 ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year—Sustained Excellence Award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy for the second consecutive year.

The Sustained Excellence award is the highest honor bestowed by the ENERGY STAR program. According to ENERGY STAR, the winners are part of a distinguished group that has made a long-term commitment to fighting climate change and protecting public health through energy efficiency, and they are among the nation’s leaders in driving value for the environment, the economy, and the American people.

BXP continues to be recognized as a well-established leader in energy efficiency and has publicly declared energy use intensity reduction goals. BXP has reduced the energy use intensity of its actively managed office buildings by 41 percent since 2008. In 2021, 46 BXP buildings earned the ENERGY STAR rating, and the Company achieved an average ENERGY STAR score of 76 out of 100 across its actively managed and eligible in-service portfolio.

“We know it’s going to take all of us working together to tackle the climate crisis, and the 2022 ENERGY STAR award-winning partners are demonstrating what it takes to build a more sustainable future,” said EPA Administrator Michael S. Regan. “These companies are showing once again that taking action in support of a clean energy economy can be good not only for the environment, but also for business and customers.”

“We’re proud of our recognition from and partnership with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and ENERGY STAR,” said Doug Linde, President, BXP. “The Sustained Excellence award highlights BXP’s ongoing commitment to reducing energy consumption, carbon emissions, and operating costs through a focus on optimizing energy performance across our portfolio.”
