What does a site EUI of 3.8 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. 840-848 Battery St's 3.8 kBtu/ft² across 63,959 sq ft works out to about 0.2 billion Btu (71 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 10.5 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 44,160 kWh of electricity and 3 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires 840-848 Battery St to report its energy use?
