What does a site EUI of 47.6 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. The Bush Temple's 47.6 kBtu/ft² across 197,570 sq ft works out to about 9.4 billion Btu (2,756 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. Its source EUI of 86.1 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 1,196,061 kWh of electricity and 53,270 therms of natural gas for the year.
