What does a site EUI of 32.7 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. Vision Rentals's 32.7 kBtu/ft² across 62,270 sq ft works out to about 2 billion Btu (597 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. Its source EUI of 56.3 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 228,212 kWh of electricity, 12,597 therms of natural gas and 1,989 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires Vision Rentals to report its energy use?
