What does a site EUI of 107.3 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. Midway SOuare's 107.3 kBtu/ft² across 55,574 sq ft works out to about 6 billion Btu (1,748 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. Its source EUI of 192.8 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 745,305 kWh of electricity and 34,215 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Midway SOuare to report its energy use?
