What does a site EUI of 18.1 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. St. Johns Presbyterian Church's 18.1 kBtu/ft² across 34,087 sq ft works out to about 0.6 billion Btu (181 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 15.8 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is different. The disclosure also reports -18,623 kWh of electricity and 6,816 therms of natural gas for the year.
