What does a site EUI of 50.7 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. Colorado Ballet's 50.7 kBtu/ft² across 30,000 sq ft works out to about 1.5 billion Btu (446 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. The disclosure also reports 194,829 kWh of electricity and 8,566 therms of natural gas for the year.
