What does a site EUI of 65.2 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. National University's 65.2 kBtu/ft² across 63,000 sq ft works out to about 4.1 billion Btu (1,204 MWh-equivalent) in 2022. The disclosure also reports 526,590 kWh of electricity and 23,483 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires National University to report its energy use?
