What does a site EUI of 111.1 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. 1640 Cambridge Street's 111.1 kBtu/ft² across 168,224 sq ft works out to about 18.7 billion Btu (5,477 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 184.5 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 1,341,523 kWh of electricity, 85,588 therms of natural gas and 2,558 thousand gallons of water for the year.
