What does a site EUI of 39.8 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. Bradley Business Center II's 39.8 kBtu/ft² across 374,000 sq ft works out to about 14.9 billion Btu (4,362 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. Its source EUI of 76.3 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 2,161,444 kWh of electricity and 75,127 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Bradley Business Center II to report its energy use?
