What does a site EUI of 48.2 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. 28 Hingham St's 48.2 kBtu/ft² across 9,195 sq ft works out to about 0.4 billion Btu (130 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 81.8 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 48,027 kWh of electricity, 2,791 therms of natural gas and 248 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires 28 Hingham St to report its energy use?
