What does a site EUI of 83.0 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. New Malcolm X College's 83.0 kBtu/ft² across 545,000 sq ft works out to about 45.2 billion Btu (13,257 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. Its source EUI of 169.7 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 7,530,965 kWh of electricity, 195,324 therms of natural gas and 16,010 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires New Malcolm X College to report its energy use?
