What does a site EUI of 73.5 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. Rabbinical Seminary of America's 73.5 kBtu/ft² across 83,794 sq ft works out to about 6.2 billion Btu (1,805 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. Its source EUI of 140.9 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 894,600 kWh of electricity, 31,067 therms of natural gas and 3,348 thousand gallons of water for the year.
