What does a site EUI of 172.8 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. 50-60 Binney ST's 172.8 kBtu/ft² across 532,739 sq ft works out to about 92.1 billion Btu (26,979 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 310.6 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 11,519,085 kWh of electricity, 527,780 therms of natural gas and 6,816 thousand gallons of water for the year.
