What does a site EUI of 229.0 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. Fresh Direct's 229.0 kBtu/ft² across 658,066 sq ft works out to about 150.7 billion Btu (44,165 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 426.2 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 20,476,718 kWh of electricity and 808,049 therms of natural gas for the year.
