What does a site EUI of 4.3 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. Chico Nut Company's 4.3 kBtu/ft² across 215,395 sq ft works out to about 0.9 billion Btu (271 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 220,943 kWh of electricity and 1,676 therms of natural gas for the year.
