What does a site EUI of 60.6 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. California Northstate University's 60.6 kBtu/ft² across 109,300 sq ft works out to about 6.6 billion Btu (1,941 MWh-equivalent) in 2021. The disclosure also reports 1,413,957 kWh of electricity and 17,781 therms of natural gas for the year.
