What does a site EUI of 59.5 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. RAC MMJ 8401 23 Rd's 59.5 kBtu/ft² across 83,278 sq ft works out to about 5 billion Btu (1,452 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 71.9 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 130,714 kWh of electricity, 45,110 therms of natural gas and 509 thousand gallons of water for the year.
