What does a site EUI of 46.9 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. 160-210 Alewife Brook Pkwy's 46.9 kBtu/ft² across 267,440 sq ft works out to about 12.5 billion Btu (3,676 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 64.5 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 682,693 kWh of electricity, 102,229 therms of natural gas and 2,408 thousand gallons of water for the year.
