What does a site EUI of 75.4 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. Research and Learning Center's 75.4 kBtu/ft² across 42,011 sq ft works out to about 3.2 billion Btu (928 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 160.7 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 573,832 kWh of electricity and 12,092 therms of natural gas for the year.
