What does a site EUI of 40.7 kBtu/ft² mean?
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. 800 Heinz Ave's 40.7 kBtu/ft² across 22,347 sq ft works out to about 0.9 billion Btu (267 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 86.8 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 164,824 kWh of electricity and 3,474 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires 800 Heinz Ave to report its energy use?
