What does a site EUI of 152.0 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. 250R Fresh Pond Parkway's 152.0 kBtu/ft² across 8,792 sq ft works out to about 1.3 billion Btu (392 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 211.1 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 75,722 kWh of electricity and 10,782 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires 250R Fresh Pond Parkway to report its energy use?
