What does a site EUI of 181.1 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. 147 Hampshire Street's 181.1 kBtu/ft² across 80,763 sq ft works out to about 14.6 billion Btu (4,287 MWh-equivalent) in 2017. Its source EUI of 256.7 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 313,969 kWh of electricity, 50,108 therms of natural gas and 53,775 thousand gallons of water for the year.
