What does a site EUI of 18.1 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. Walsh's 18.1 kBtu/ft² across 53,000 sq ft works out to about 1 billion Btu (281 MWh-equivalent) in 2020. The disclosure also reports 295,644 kWh of electricity for the year.
