What does a site EUI of 58.5 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. 1232 N HIGHLAND AVE's 58.5 kBtu/ft² across 32,000 sq ft works out to about 1.9 billion Btu (549 MWh-equivalent) in 2017. Its source EUI of 183.8 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 1,084 thousand gallons of water for the year.
