What does a site EUI of 1.6 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. 111 ELLIS ST's 1.6 kBtu/ft² across 17,358 sq ft works out to about 0 billion Btu (8 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 4.6 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 8,387 kWh of electricity and 0 therms of natural gas for the year.

Which law requires 111 ELLIS ST to report its energy use?
