What does a site EUI of 138.0 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. Myrtle Hall's 138.0 kBtu/ft² across 133,424 sq ft works out to about 18.4 billion Btu (5,396 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 255.2 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 2,465,026 kWh of electricity, 98,954 therms of natural gas and 899 thousand gallons of water for the year.
