What does a site EUI of 78.5 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. Pratt Studios's 78.5 kBtu/ft² across 74,532 sq ft works out to about 5.9 billion Btu (1,715 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 126.0 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 554,764 kWh of electricity, 22,445 therms of natural gas and 1,621 thousand gallons of water for the year.
