What does a site EUI of 122.5 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. Fordham Canisius Hall's 122.5 kBtu/ft² across 6,588 sq ft works out to about 0.8 billion Btu (237 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. Its source EUI of 194.1 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 72,549 kWh of electricity and 5,132 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Fordham Canisius Hall to report its energy use?
