What does a site EUI of 30.7 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. Goddard Hall's 30.7 kBtu/ft² across 76,900 sq ft works out to about 2.4 billion Btu (692 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 86.0 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 692,554 kWh of electricity and 0 therms of natural gas for the year.
