What does a site EUI of 4.3 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. 5 Felton Street's 4.3 kBtu/ft² across 143,425 sq ft works out to about 0.6 billion Btu (181 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 12.0 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 180,871 kWh of electricity and 0 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires 5 Felton Street to report its energy use?
