What does a site EUI of 34.5 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. Current's 34.5 kBtu/ft² across 165,766 sq ft works out to about 5.7 billion Btu (1,676 MWh-equivalent) in 2019. The disclosure also reports 1,277,224 kWh of electricity and 13,907 therms of natural gas for the year.
