## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

## Massachusetts Large Building Energy Reporting (LBER) Data

**Massachusetts Large Building Energy Reporting (LBER)** by building and year: site EUI, energy use and property type across the state. It reaches buildings outside Boston and Cambridge, which have their own programs.

### Use cases

- Find large public assembly and office buildings across Massachusetts, outside the Boston and Cambridge programs.
- Compare municipalities on EUI for a utility or state program.
- Combine with the BERDO and BEUDO actors for a statewide view.

### Coverage and freshness

Program: Massachusetts Large Building Energy Reporting (LBER). Publisher: Massachusetts Large Building Energy Reporting. Area in this example record: Massachusetts (statewide). Each run reads the current official publication, so a scheduled run picks up new releases when the agency publishes them. Fields the program does not publish come back as null.

### Pricing

This actor uses pay-per-event pricing. These are the current Apify prices, read on 2026-11-06.

| Event | Price | When it is charged |
|---|---|---|
| `result` | $0.015 | Each building delivered to your dataset |
| `apify-actor-start` | $0.003 | When a run starts, once per GB of run memory with a minimum of one |

At the default 512 MB, a run that delivers 100 buildings costs $1.503.

- Accounts on the free Apify plan receive up to 10 results per run.
- If nothing matches your filters, no results are charged. If the source cannot be read before any result is saved, you get one row with an `error` field, and that row carries no `result` charge. The start event still applies to the run.
- Set a maximum cost per run and the actor stops delivering results when it reaches that limit.

### Comparison with other Apify actors

### FAQ

**What do EUI and ENERGY STAR score mean?**

Site EUI is the energy a building uses per square foot per year; higher means less efficient for its type. The ENERGY STAR score (1-100) compares a building to similar buildings nationwide: 50 is the median, 75+ is top performer.

**Why are some values empty?**

Programs publish different fields, and buildings that did not report have no energy values. Empty values are returned as null rather than guessed.

**Where does the data come from?**

From official public records and open-data disclosures published by the government programs named on this page. BuildingSignal standardizes them into one consistent schema. Always confirm critical decisions with the issuing agency.

**Can I use it with my CRM or BI tool?**

Yes. Export to CSV, Excel or JSON, call it through the Apify API, or connect it with the Make, Zapier, n8n or Google Sheets integrations.

### Run it through the Apify API

Replace `<TOKEN>` with your Apify API token.

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/buildingsignal~massachusetts-large-building-energy-reporting/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"maxBuildings": 25}'
```

With the Apify CLI:

```bash
apify call buildingsignal/massachusetts-large-building-energy-reporting --input '{"maxBuildings": 25}'
```

Every run writes to a dataset that you can export as JSON, CSV or Excel from the Storage tab or through the Apify API.
