What does a site EUI of 108.0 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. Gould Center's 108.0 kBtu/ft² across 214,570 sq ft works out to about 23.2 billion Btu (6,792 MWh-equivalent) in 2019. The disclosure also reports 3,630,979 kWh of electricity and 106,135 therms of natural gas for the year.
