What does a site EUI of 30.7 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. 795 Folsom Street's 30.7 kBtu/ft² across 233,150 sq ft works out to about 7.2 billion Btu (2,098 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 60.6 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 970,737 kWh of electricity and 29,731 therms of natural gas for the year.
