What does a site EUI of 168.0 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. 1390 Massachusetts Ave's 168.0 kBtu/ft² across 39,240 sq ft works out to about 6.6 billion Btu (1,932 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 290.9 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 752,730 kWh of electricity, 40,228 therms of natural gas and 2,401 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires 1390 Massachusetts Ave to report its energy use?
