What does a site EUI of 176.3 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 Grove of Evanston's 176.3 kBtu/ft² across 36,996 sq ft works out to about 6.5 billion Btu (1,912 MWh-equivalent) in 2019. Its source EUI of 283.2 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 607,677 kWh of electricity, 44,488 therms of natural gas and 3,366 thousand gallons of water for the year.
