What does a site EUI of 27.5 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. Green Light Energy Conservation:2002 AVENUE J's 27.5 kBtu/ft² across 32,880 sq ft works out to about 0.9 billion Btu (265 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 77.0 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 265,109 kWh of electricity and 1,626 thousand gallons of water for the year.
