What does a site EUI of 47.5 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. Jamestown Premier Berkeley Grotto Campus's 47.5 kBtu/ft² across 53,436 sq ft works out to about 2.5 billion Btu (744 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 113.4 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 568,730 kWh of electricity and 5,967 therms of natural gas for the year.
