What does a site EUI of 55.0 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. ZoeLife 400 Aberdeen LLC's 55.0 kBtu/ft² across 423,460 sq ft works out to about 23.3 billion Btu (6,826 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. Its source EUI of 106.7 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 3,466,028 kWh of electricity, 114,790 therms of natural gas and 24,246 thousand gallons of water for the year.
