What does a site EUI of 27.4 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. LaVelle Hall's 27.4 kBtu/ft² across 25,700 sq ft works out to about 0.7 billion Btu (206 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. Its source EUI of 27.6 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher.
