What does a site EUI of 7.9 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. 146 GEARY ST's 7.9 kBtu/ft² across 12,961 sq ft works out to about 0.1 billion Btu (30 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 22.0 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 29,859 kWh of electricity for the year.
Which law requires 146 GEARY ST to report its energy use?
