What does a site EUI of 197.0 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. 5701 Foster Avenue's 197.0 kBtu/ft² across 31,800 sq ft works out to about 6.3 billion Btu (1,836 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 311.9 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 559,880 kWh of electricity and 43,530 therms of natural gas for the year.
