What does a site EUI of 35.5 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. Spear Street Terrace's 35.5 kBtu/ft² across 299,801 sq ft works out to about 10.6 billion Btu (3,119 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 80.2 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 1,908,060 kWh of electricity and 29,256 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Spear Street Terrace to report its energy use?
