What does a site EUI of 16.4 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. Pavilion's 16.4 kBtu/ft² across 100,000 sq ft works out to about 1.6 billion Btu (481 MWh-equivalent) in 2020. The disclosure also reports 479,997 kWh of electricity for the year.
