What does a site EUI of 113.8 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. Axel Building's 113.8 kBtu/ft² across 125,000 sq ft works out to about 14.2 billion Btu (4,169 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 216.7 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 2,034,623 kWh of electricity and 72,853 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Axel Building to report its energy use?
