What does a site EUI of 17.7 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. 1126 HOWARD ST's 17.7 kBtu/ft² across 21,640 sq ft works out to about 0.4 billion Btu (112 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 49.5 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 112,174 kWh of electricity for the year.
Which law requires 1126 HOWARD ST to report its energy use?
