What does a site EUI of 118.5 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. Arnhold Hall's 118.5 kBtu/ft² across 86,117 sq ft works out to about 10.2 billion Btu (2,991 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 268.5 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 2,078,275 kWh of electricity, 31,131 therms of natural gas and 1,879 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires Arnhold Hall to report its energy use?
