What does a site EUI of 60.2 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. 68 Brookline St's 60.2 kBtu/ft² across 6,440 sq ft works out to about 0.4 billion Btu (114 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 89.5 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 28,338 kWh of electricity, 2,913 therms of natural gas and 290 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires 68 Brookline St to report its energy use?
