What does a site EUI of 4455.9 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. CEPSR Schapiro's 4455.9 kBtu/ft² across 207,940 sq ft works out to about 926.6 billion Btu (271,548 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 5923.5 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 43,894,244 kWh of electricity and 6,954,493 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires CEPSR Schapiro to report its energy use?
