What does a site EUI of 26.7 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. 70 FRANKLIN AVENUE's 26.7 kBtu/ft² across 25,000 sq ft works out to about 0.7 billion Btu (196 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 28.0 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 6,669 therms of natural gas for the year.
